One of the wires going to the horn is broken from the connector. I need to find a replacement connector. Any suggestions on where I might find a replacement connector?

You might reach out to coolerman here on MUD. He may have your connectors or a source.
If you want to keep it original, you can remove the connector from the plastic. Once apart pry open the crimp and re-crimp to the wire. If that doesn't matter then simply add a spade connector of the proper size.
Plus one put an new female spade connector - you might need to do some chiropractic work with a small screw screwdriver or an pair of plyers to make it fit.
I recently went to harbor freight and picked up a new set of horns. They sound very similar to the cruiser, except without the cold virus. the same connectors (spade) attach right on the front. I'll go see if I can get a pic of it....
You will need an open barrel crimp tool to attach a new terminal, reuse the old housing. It's good to have the tools to fix these as they break. I keep my connector parts and tools in a tackle box to keep track.
That is Cinnamon checking you out.

When I had gone to O'Reilly they handed me the wrong sex connector. It has been a while since I did this repair, but I believe they gave me a male connector. I returned it and got the female version and attached the wire to this. Works fine now.
I had that happen at a bar once. Shocker.
When you look inside from the bottom, you can usually see a fold on each side of the female.
The male is just a straight piece with a hole in the end.

Below is a link to Coolermans site. You might want to go thru the rest of your wiring and see what other connectors that might need to replace along with the generic wires the po installed.

Yup. I wasn't thinking at the time. Frequent problem. Went home and took a better look. Ah ha! Now I know what I need.
