Yes, but... you will need wire heavy enough to carry the current [measured in Amperes or Amps] that the horn uses, and also need to install a control switch in the circuit or the horn will sound continuously. The hookup is simple: one horn wire to the Positive [+] terminal and the other horn wire to the Negative [--] terminal.

It would also be a very good safety practice to install a properly sized fuse in circuit to protect the conductor wires.

Jack up the rider front side of the car. Remember to follow all safety guidelines for jacking the car into the air, and as always put on your rear brakes to further secure the car from rolling while your under it. From the front riders side get under the car and look up right behind the bumper, and you will see the horn attached sideways to a bracket. Unscrew the one holding nut, and then disconnect the wire from the horn assembly. Pull the horn out, and that's it. To check to see if the horn itself is faulty, use a jumper wire to jump the connection to the battery. Assembly is the reverse of disassembly.

most likely if you have ever had your top off. you need to pull the horn button straight up off the steering wheel, and clean the contact points with a wire brush or Emery cloth. The water may have corroded them. It is what happened to mine. Also check fuses and horn. take a wire and go from battery straight to the horn or use a volt meter to make sure voltage is getting to the horn. If it honks it is your connections under your button, if not it is your horn.
