Default Wiring Problems - Help Please

Alright, so I've had my car back for a few days and it runs real nice, it pulls hard and revs high, just what I wanted.

Heres the thing...

My horn never worked. Whoever wired it was on crack, its just a piece of ****. Its tempermental, meaning that occasionally it wants to work, but most often it just doesn't.

So, I'm driving my car and getting off at an exit today and I tap the horn just to see if its one of those rare times that its working, and the car dies on me as I have the clutch down and I'm rolling to a stop. (later when it cut off it cuts right back on similar to pop starting it I guess)

Really freaks me out, I was kinda scared to drive until I realize the horn was the trigger to the car dying. So later, driving slowly on a road I try again and this time the radio shorts out and pops right back on. Odd, and its pissing me off. Also, when I hit the horn my headlights and dashlights dim.

So then later on, I was sitting in fronta a pool hall with my lady in the car just talking with the car running and I decide its time to leave so I turn on the headlights and BOOM, the car dies again. WTF!?

Just trying to play with it more to see whats wrong, I turn on the lights as I hit the horn and the car dies once more. Prolly 1 out of every 3 times I do this the car will cut off.

So, what I'm trying to figure out is if its just the horn wiring or if its something bigger. I was hoping it was the horn until the car cut off after just turning on the lights. It died once at a light when I pressed the horn and lights and wouldn't start up, like the battery was dead. So, I go pop the hood and wiggle the cables a bit and my interior lights come back on.

This is really freaking me out, anyone have something like this happen to them?

Any ideas would be appreciated.
