the easiest way is to run a new cable from inside the car to the horn
disconnect the yellow/black wire on the horn and connect your new cable to that
then inside the car take the new cable to a momentary push button and then connect the other side of the switch to an ignition live
the ignition live is a black wire and can be found either at the ignition switch or you cna take it from the back of the fuse box

are you sure the actual horn isnt duff? Put a multi meter on the wiring and see where your getting power and where your not.
