Logically, something isn't right.
I bought a wiring harness and for example, there will be one wire labeled "horn" however, the horn has 2 wires coming from it in order to complete the circuit. Same w/ the tail ligkts. I see a tail light with 2 wires coming from it, the pos and neg however, the wiring harness has a single wire called left rear tail light.

What piece of information am I missing here?

My horns only have one wire (pos.) going to them. The neg. wire isn't needed because they ground directly to the radiator support.

I'm guessing that the harness has a common ground for that circuit, instead of each item grounding individually.

But that's a SWAG.
