Why can't you get to the horn? It's only behind the grill.

Yes you can, But do you know what is wrong with your horn? It may be something simple.

Sounds like the horn is earthing out when you turn. Take the horn off and check around the wheel and take the column off and check behind the steering wheel.

If you remove the horn push you'll see a black earth wire connected to a pin on the back of horn.
On the other end of the wire is an earth ring. Look around this area for signs of earthing/wires touching that shouldn't be etc.
I wouldn't use speaker wire, When I wire things into my car I try to use the same colour that the factory use and a good gauge.
If you want to bodge it which it sounds like you do, Then use speaker wire.
Instead of bypassing a problem why not try to rectify it?
