yep, the wire that comes from the regulator into the loom.
if you have an AC horn it will just make a really feeble croak, but that's just cos you're putting DC through it.

Dont forget to fuse the +ve link from the battery or you might melt your loom

Dont fit a fuse and which ever wire starts to smoke, then thats where the fault is.
