The horn is grounded through the stator tube/steering wheel/column. 
There is a flat copper ring between the stator tube and the control head.

The turn signal is grounded at the light bulbs.  Power goes to the 
control head on the green wire and returns on either the green/yellow or 
green/blue depending on the switch position.

Green/Yellow Right turn signal
Green        Turn signal power
Green/Blue   Left turn signal
Brown/Black  Horn
