The power for the circuit starts at a connector that has several orange wires to it (orange is common switched power). From the connector it is an orange/black wire that goes to the horn. From the horn there is a green wire that leads to the switch. On the other side of the switch is a black/white stripe that goes to ground. The ground is common with all lights.

I think I'm going to try to take the tank off tomorrow so I can get a better look at the circuit... :/
Can I just take the seat off and scoot it back a little without disconnecting gas and everything (risky ik, but I don't want to mess things up more)

Your gonna have to remove the seat and tank. To remove the tank remove the bolts at the rear, disconnect the fuel line and vacuum line (or if you have a Raptor petcock, turn the fuel to OFF and remove the fuel line) and then slide the tank back a few inches. You can lift it off from there. It's easiest to do with a near empty tank, so go out for a ride first if the tank is full.

I'm pretty sure my inputs for the horn are wrapped up in that electrical tape for some reason.

You may not be able to slide the tank back far enough to even see the large connector (8-9 pin) above the spark coil ,where the wires originate . You can use a golf tee or small bolt to block fuel flow if you have the stock petcock. you'll have to unplug the small connector to the speedo wires(do this last) and unscrew the speedo drive cable at the right engine case in order to lift the rear of the tank to free the petcock and slide the tank back(be careful not to lose the small O-ring that fits up inside the cable's nut -it tends to fall out and get lost and it needs to be there to act as an oil seal)
When working on the horn or lights never leave the key on for an extended length of time without starting the bike, as it sends power to the TDI ignition and will cause it to be ruined.

So I was able to scootch the tank back without having to disconnect everything.
I removed the electrical tape to reveal a blue striped wire and a red striped... Huh

Pulled up the electrical diagram for an 02 and oh to my surprise, those are the wires for my horn. -___-
Off to autozone to pick up a horn... although... I don't know how to connect them... will I need a soldering tool?? 0.o

The handle bar switch may not survive , not sure about the wire gauge, so, if you're installing a horn that uses much more current than the stock horn, you should think about those things.

This is going to sound silly... and I should reiterate... I'm very new to repairing things... so... what is a crimp spade connector? Do you have a link? I see a bunch of various ones on amazon, but I'm lost...

Also neither autozone nor my local bike shop had any horns so I'll have to buy one online... found a "universal" one on amazon!
Should this work?

Thanks again for all of your help so far! It really means a lot to be a part of such a cool community!! Cheesy
