Default Horn location

Hello Everyone

My horn hasnt worked since I got my 84. havent worried about until I realized it was now inspection time. Test light shows I am getting power to the horn button on steering wheel and to the relay in the center if the IP and it is clicking when I push the horn button. So I purchased a new horn, but when I looked underneather the hood looks like I have two of them. one underneath the right and left headlights.

Anyone know which one I should replace? or do I have to replace both of them? thanks!

If I were you I would try to put power to the positive connection on the horn. Use a test light hooked to your battery positive post and touch the positive horn terminal without removing the connector. The one that doesn't toot is bad. Do not be surprised if both don't work. For some reason the c-4 horns don't last that long. I put 3 c-note horns on and one a note also.

Pete, thanks. I tried a test light on the both horn connections and the the test light showed no power to them. wondering if I have a some bad wiring that is affecting both. going to hook up the new horn today to test with the suspect wires. thanks again.
