it is a switched earth the steering column being part of the circuit, theres an earth strap at the lower end of the steering colum that may be your issue or the contacts in the steering wheel. Take a new wire straight to the horn earth from your button and other contact to earth, just check horn is actually working first by earthing one side with the brown wire first to see if the horn itself is faulty.
