The relay on my '73 is mounted on the inner fender next to the starter solinoid.

Do you hear it click when you push the horn button? Take a wire and touch the + batt terminal and wire terminal on horn - horn should sound if it's good.

No Relay on the horn for 79 without cruise... AFAIK.

I bet the horn sounds weak or non-extistant.

On my 78, the wire was straight to the horn.

My 78 didn't have one until I added the cruise option.

I always had a weak sounding horn that belonged on a pedal car.
