Until this happened, I didn't know screw had fallen out. Luckily, back was not lost too.
Since that occurrence, I have been trying to adjust horn to sound correct again (with no luck as of yet.)

Just to be clear, I meant grounding out the wire that come from the horn button in the headlight switch assembly, as that is what the horn button is doing, providing a ground path. The other wire to the horn is hot at all times, and shorting it out could very well blow the fuse and/or kill the engine.
