You can check the power supply to the horn by pressing on the horn and check for voltage with either a test light or a multi meter. If there is voltage then the ground is bad. I will try and check the shop manual this morning for further diagnostics on the switch, relay etc.

As "Turtle" says, check for power to the horns - they are "hot" at all times and only sound when ground is applied.

Ground is applied via the horn switch, cable real, horn relay.

The positive wires to both left and right horn are Wht/Yel, coming from under-hood Fuse No. 30 (20A).
