Crush both ends lightly with your pliers, just enough to flatten them for clearance issues. Draw some solder into each end of the wire with the ~~solder gun~~, making sure it is well saturated before you solder it onto the board. Solder one end at a time to the applicable connectors. You are connecting the power (before the fuse) of the horn to the power (again before the fuse) side of the ACC. This way, if your ACC fuse blows, you won't also risk blowing the horn fuse (as it is at a lower amperage after your modifications).

If you aren't brave enough to learn to solder on this job, take it to your local electronics nerd and show him the final picture. Should be that easy.
