Horn will not blow. I checked the horns before I installed them and they both work fine. All parts are new, turn signal switch, cancel cam, horn relay and both front engine harnesses. I have a meter, can someone give me a starting place? By the way, blinkers and brake lights work fine. One other note, the alternator is not hooked up. Just trying to give as much info as possible!

Thanks,
Ron

If the battery is hook up so you have power at the horn relay and the steering wheel horn button then this sounds like a grounding problem.
Make sure the steering wheel horn contact points are clean......light sanding paper and make sure contact is shinny, no rust or paint.
Also make sure where the horns contact the body or radiator support has metal to metal contact.

Also check the strap(s) on the rag joint on the steering column. The column provides the ground, and if the rag joint was replaced and the straps left off, it insulates the horn contact. Take a test light, clamp it to the + side of the battery, touch the point to the column in the engine compartment above the rag joint and be sure that it lights up. No light = no ground = no horn.

Problem solved. Got my book out and went to test the horn relay. Because of where the relay is located, when it was pluged up the connector was not put on the correct way. The green wire that goes to the horns was connected to nothing. Pluged the connector the right way and horns blow!!!! Feel stupid but at least they work, thanks for the posts!!!!
