I don't know what you mean by "second socket", but each of those
terminals grounds just behind where the horn mounts. On an early TR2-3
there would be a dual bullet socket screwed in there, but later cars
apparently just had ring terminals screwed into the body there.

There should be 4 wires:
1 to horn
1 from turn signal flasher
1 to right side turn signals
1 to left side turn signals
