Default Where is main ground for horn, brake lights, and shifter lock?

I have checked all fuses, and made sure the bulbs all work. Iam gonna be testing the brake switch tonight, But i am told to check the main ground as all 3 things might ground out the same way. Does anyone knows where this 1 ground might be?
Thanks in advance

*EDITED*
Car is a 92 dx hatch
The problem that is been happening off and on for 1 week now is I lose my horn, brake lights, and my shifter wont release to get out of park. Now the problem has been 1 straight day without anything working. I have checked the ground in the hatch as well as the one of the back of the car under where the hatch is. All fuses have been checked aswell. I am gonna pull off the bumper once i get some light outside and check the power/ ground going to the horn. I have a spare brake switch that i can install if needed, but wanted to see the easy options first.
Thanks

FWIW, the horn casing is it's ground. The wire going to it sees power when you hit your horn button.
