Try enlarging the horn relay area on this picture. There is a 12VDC positive bus on the relay where a number of wires attach. If yours is a large red wire, then it must attach there. There is no where else it would go. The only other positive in that area is the main output of the alternator.

First pic looks like undisturbed stock. Can't tell what's going on in the second pic.

Have you tried researching it on a wiring diagram? I don't have one for your year, but I'd bet it would answer your question.

Thanks Guys
The picks are unclear so i will retake them tonight and repost
the wire in question has a connector on the end.

the Lug on the horn relay is behind the 2 large orange wires on the RIGHT in photo 1

cheers
Lou

Does your key buzzer work? That could be the wire to hook up that annoying buzzer!!!

The horn relay has a buzzer in it for the key.

Second thing I did to my Vette after buying it was disconnect that wire to silence the annoying buzzer when the key is in the ignition. The first thing was disabling the neutral safety switch.
