the wire is red with a yellow stripe, there is one that looks the exact same located right underneath it, and i have the fog lights already hooked up to a different switch, but i never had fogs so idk if it would still be attached

The horn wire from the combination switch
up to the steering wheel should be blue/red..

The white/green wire to the horn should be hot all the time
and the wire in the steering wheel applies the ground to complete
the circuit..

Out of the combination switch
Red/yellow looks to be for the "flash to pass" feature..

It illuminates the high beam headlights whether the lights are on or not
when the switch stalk is pulled toward you...

There is also a red/yellow wire powering the left headlamp..

Check the connection at the horn with a meter or test light
white/green should be hot..

If it is,hook a jumper wire from the blue/red at the horn
to the negative battery terminal.

If you have both power and ground at the horn,it should honk..
If not,the the horn itself is probably bad..

Sorry to steal the thread, but could a person tap into these wires and run the wires to a push button switch to activate the horn?

yes this could easily be done. It is also somewhat like when people wire the horn to the brake lights so when they are powered the horn is too. Takes a couple taps of the brakes for the driver to realize what the hell is going on. I dont reccomend doing that because if someone messed with my wiring, I would probably burn their house down.
