Default Missing Horn

So my mechanic informed me today that my horn was completely missing. I bought a new one but need to know where the stock location is. I think I found it on the driver side at the front of the engine bay but want to be sure. I have both a black plug with a single prong in it and a white wire with what looks like a standard crimp on butt connector. Are those the connectors for the horn?

Could be. Put a volt meter on it and check if you have voltage when you press the horn button.

For my 1988, the negative lead ran around the battery to the ground point right behind the battery on the inside of the fender, between the battery and the washer reservoir. Not sure that's where it runs on the 1992, but it's a good first shot to check.

I wasn't missing my horn, but it was at most a suggestion (kind of a throat clearing level sound). Replaced it with two horns from Harbor Freight for $10, and wired the two in parallel - I now startle train conductors *grins*
