Horn Replacement
I have a '76, and was looking at the horn from the top through the hood to see it, and from the bottom where I could see most of it. My question is, how do I replace it? Is it easier to get to it from the top or bottom? Should removing the hood be necessary to access from the top? Thanks

I just went down the front with the hood on, now, you know there are 2 horns up front, right? what is wrong with the horn(s)? a good ground is need to operate them. are you getting 12 volts when the horn button is pressed? if not , then the problem is not the horns.

Getting 12 volts, don't know about the ground. I'll check. You're right - it's easy to get the left side from the top, and the right horn is really easy from the bottom. When I depress the horn button, I hear the horns trying to engage (electrical clicking), but no horn.

News Flash!!!! I figured mine out/got a replacement horn from Autozone, so I'm back in business. The reason I was stumped at first was entirely self-inflicted. I recently purchased a nice Fluke multimeter to replace my old analog meter and didn't notice that the Fluke has a slight hesitation before the digital number appears in window. I had my wife pushing on horn button when I said "Ok now" when I had probes in place (1 to grnd, 1 to wire connector to horn). Well it would change from like 0.005 VDC to blank to "OL" when she pushed the button. I never said "Push button and hold it." It finally dawned on me the next day that it was the meter lagging a bit so I went back to garage and positioned the meter where I could see it from driver's door. Sure enough I pushed horn button/held it and it went from 0.005 VDC to blank to OL to 12.67 volts DC. IOW operator error on the Fluke meter! Dang I hate learning things the hard way!!!!!
