Default Electrical issue. Please help

95 electra glide, changed out bars to apes. Previous owner had did this as well. He used mismatched colors to connect the wires, so I had to guess what went where. Anyways... my horn button now turns my headlight on. I figured if I just switched the two wires, done deal, well that didnt work. I just got the bike, and service manual is on order, but need some help please. I also cant find the fuse box. I'd appreciate anyone's help.

Your bike doesn't have a fuse box, it has a handful of circuit breakers, probably inside the batwing or mounted on the front of the top fork tree. Your bike is an Evo and you will get plenty of help if you go to the dedicated Evo section. Someone over there will, hopefully, have a '95 manual they can check for you.

Assuming you mean that the previous owner used incorrect color wire to extend the wires from the switches, right?

If so, trace back the wires to where they are connected to the original color wire, now you will know which wire goes where.

Better yet, remove the bogus wire and replace it with the correct color wire.
