Horn button wiring

I'm trying to get my horn working via the button, wasn't hooked up when I bought the truck. The horn works fine when I jumper between the center post and the 1/4" spade in the steering wheel. I just need to figure out how to plug in the horn bar ... the female terminal obviously goes on the spade, but there's another wire hanging off the back with a 180-degree-bent male spade terminal on it, and there's no obvious place to connect it. Where should that go? Am I missing a piece that should connect it to the center column bolt/nut somehow?

Its the ground, it simply sticks in one of the holes in the center bar of the steering wheel.

Ah, thanks! I'd figured out from a wiring perspective that it should attach to the center hub as a ground; hadn't thought to stick it in one of the puller bolt holes though. That works perfectly.

Wow! I just has the same stupid question. Put "horn wire" in the forum search and voilà. The internet rocks almost as much as you guys.
