Remember this car was originally rigged with a generic 3-prong relay.
Am I correct in assuming that the old wire might be touching somewhere and completing some sort of circuit? I am taking the steering wheel apart to see if he left it in there.

Ulrich, if the original wires are burned, then you should try using the new wire the PO installed to see if that has your horn working properly. Does the new wire run from the horn button to the trunk?
