Default Someone with a 73 with a/c - help!

Wiring schematics tell me that the orange wire running off the blower relay should run directly to the horn relay/battery terminal and contain a inline fuse (30a). This orange wire is for HI POWER on the fan.
My orange wire runs from the blower relay and then disappears with the loom into the firewall behind the fuse box. My fan won't work on HI and I am trying to track down where the orange wire terminates.
Can some one with a 73 with a/c tell me where the orange wire should go??

The orange wire goes to the horn relay located next to the Master Brake Cylinder. There is a fuse in the orange wire at the horn relay. At least that is where it is on my 73.
