Isn't it a switched earth. You need to earth one side of the savage and then connect the other to the horn.

+12v in on pin 1.

When you put the switch on, +12v comes out on pin 2 on the same side.

Simple.

Try swapping the wires round on the horn as I know this worked for me.

The confusing bit with savage switches is that they are basically 2 switches in one. In most applications you just use one set of terminals.
