It's actually a ground wire. If you touch that wire directly to ground you should get the horns to honk. In some Momo horn buttons you have one contact and when you push the button the button itself makes contact with a ground (usually a ground ring provided with button).
Some have the two wires and one connects to your loose wire and the other connects to a ground of some sort. You pushing the button closes the circuit in the button and completes the circuit needed to power the horn relay.

Happy ending. A totally cool SW, no airbag light and a working Porsche crest horn. This owner is very very happy.

My wheel is the Prototipo and the Momo 7004 hub with 964 RS steering column covers. I think they are RSs but I am not sure.
To make the job easier I removed the lower dash. This made it easy to get at the wire connectors that go to the clock spring mechanism and air bag.
The Jackals Race Track site was the most helpful and I will post the links to the 3 most helpful threads.
I am moving all the buttons from the console up into a block off plate I got from Rennline then I am going to RS door panels and installing manual window cranks.
Much fun to come. I will post better pics as I get things done.

After a good night sleep and a decent breakfast, I went back out and took it all apart again. I resoldered a new connector on the horn line, fit it in the plastic module, bent the copper tab piece on the L pin a bit more, reconnected everything and got the horn to work. I took it out for a drive and the steering wheel wasn't aligned so I took the hub off, realigned it and now everything works.

I like the wheel. It looks great. Looks like the 964 steering wheel cover worked out okay too. GOOD!
Question - What are you going to do with the center console after you take the switches out? Are you going to cover them somehow? The reason I ask is that my bottom switch plate cover keeps having the tab break that holds it in the console. It's a total POS. I've replaced it twice already.

The Prototipo wheel looks sooooo good in a 911, really good! Nice work.
