I don't understand your question really. As I understand the setup, there is a wire that runs INSIDE the horn rod that terminates at one end, under the horn button, and at the other end, at the lower end of the horn rod, it makes contact with the center post of the actual switch. When the horn button is pushed down, it completes the circuit and the horn blows. All of this is contained within the switch housing at the end of the steering rod, and the steering column tube that runs from just under the steering wheel to the switch housing. Where would you run a jumper wire?

Also, are there two different bail wires to hold the switch housing onto the steering gear box for different years? Mine will not snap into the indentions on the switch housing and thus appears to be a little short, maybe .25 inch.
