Default Another Horn issue

I just got mine about a month ago and I have everything squared away and working except this dam horn. I replaced th 15 amp fuse and bought a brand new relay just while I was in there might as well.
Still no power to the relay. What’s my next step? If you would let me know what should be hot and what color the wires are. I can do body work and mechanical work like nothing. Electric not so much. It’s a confusing animal to me.

need the year, all are different. horn button grounds the relay on 91. to ck relay -it likely is ok- turn off ALL noise and push horn buton. if relay clicks, wiring or horns are def. not likely either.

most likely the horn button. not any help, since I know mine is different from the 87. someone will chime in. common problem, generally lack of ground contacts under the button.
