What color is the wire?

Is it red? Thinking possibly for the brake light switch?

its a yellow wire with a green female bullet end. Brake and running lights work. Turn signals not working but don't see anything for this to connect to in wiring harness

I just checked my '57 and I have 4 wires from the firewall. Three go to the back of the truck. The 4th routes to the steering box, which would make it the horn wire. I'll take a pic if you need when I get home from work.
