Dead on! I went back in and compared the old switch and the new one. There were two brushes that were on the old switch and not on the new one. I popped them out and installed them in the new switch and the horn now works.

What confused me were the brushes that were for the airbag. I saw 4 brushed and figured they were all combined. I traced those wires looking for a fault and did not realize that there are two extra brushes for the horn on the combination switch. I'm really glad I didn't immediately trash the old combination switch as I would normally do with old parts.

Thanks everyone for your help!
