The green wire is simply a hot wire that is not only connected to the
stop lamp switch, but also the wiper motor. For lack of a better term,
just think of those connections as jumpers on the way to the horn. I
think, though I am electrically illiterate, that it may be called a
parallel circuit.

If I am not mistaken, and I likely am, when you depress the horn ring
the circuit is completed across the green and purple/black wires and
the resistance across the circuits is where the sound is generated.
The overdrive circuit has combinations of yellow wires, so if they're
not yellow, they're not the overdrive. Besides, I think there are at
least three wires coming from the overdrive switch.
I had problems getting my horns to work (turned out to be corroded
bullet connetors) and thought the wiring diagram to be rather odd. But
they worked just fine after I cleaned the connections.
