I don't know, sometimes when someone is being told something different than what they think, they just don't believe it. No matter how many times. Another example of that, "Hillary is the most qualified person ever to run for President".

OK. I finally got it after the 4th time. I had one huge brain fart. It is gone, at least for now. Not to say it won't happen again. When you get old, like I am, the brain farts come more often than they used to. Thanks to both of you for putting up with this for as long as you did.

Be sure to let us know what the final outcome is. It may help someone else in the future.
Pulled all of the wiring through the hub and I did not find a broken wire. Checked continuity and I did get 0.1 on a 200 ohm scale.
For future reference, when checking for continuity on a wire, your meter should have an audible tone feature. It will "beep" when you have continuity. Look for the "speaker" icon on the meter.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this. I have been dealing with some other issues not involving cars. I finally got it to work correctly. My problem was the wire to the brass contact ring on the signal switch came loose. When I pulled everything apart again I found it. Since I had a new horn contact button I installed it and everything worked again.
It's more likely an assembly problem than going bad. The fingered ring has to touch the metal of the wheel, and the arm that sticks down toward the turn signal switch has to touch the spring loaded horn contact, and the black wire from the horn relay has to be connected to that portion that the contact touches. The only function of the whole assembly is to provide a ground to that black wire. Use a jumper lead (or screw driver) from the metal part of the steering wheel and touch the thing that looks like this picture and see if it blows. Post back what happens and we can go from there. You may have this part rotated incorrectly to the parts don't touch, or it may not be depressing enough to touch the column to ground it.
how far should the spring loaded horn contact ride above the wheel hub, mine appears to be even with the surface (that being where one screws the wheel puller into)
I got a new trim ring and now I can't the horn to blow, I believe contact is not being made with the spring loaded horn contact plunger and ground.
