Hi 007.

I've battled horn issues on my 81 more than once.

Sounds like you're at the beginning of the hunt.

Try my thread, here:

It may have your answers.

If not, post up more questions, and we'll help you out.

Luck to ya!

BAM

If it's the same as my '80, it's under the dashboard, near the fuse panel, and it looks like this:

Huh! Apparently, there is no way to cut and paste a photo, so, tuff luck for you!

Here's a link to a horn relay, so ya know what it looks like. The color may be different, mine was gray. I got one at Advance Auto for $6.38.
