Default Dead horn

Horn on my new to me 77 does not work. As this old mind remembers it worked when I drove White Rabbit on October 31. Suggestions appreciated.

Your horn relay is on drivers side engine bay by alternator. Also junction for power B12. When you depress horn button do you here relay? If do you can follow wire from relay to horn front of rad. Check for voltage here and ensure you have a good ground. (meter or testlight) If relay is not picking up you have trouble in steering wheel

Excellent. I’ve got mine to look at.
I’ve just got a new spring and pin as those were missing.
And the horn.

I _should_ then have 12v at the bottom of the hole where the pin and spring sit....
Providing the relay is there, working and it has power?

I didn’t measure anything there previously but now need to check for the relay and power

Thanks
Mitch
