Wiring looks very simple and not even a relay in the circuit. I would guess something has happened at the horn button or possibly the horn wire might have been pulled or damaged and is shorting -- maybe in the light switch area of steering column.

Not quite sure how the horn wire gets from the button to the light switch area and outside on your year. If wire is similar type to later models where wire goes straight thru the shaft and steering box to exit at the front end of box, those wires are prone to the insulation deteriorating due to heat and grease. If the wire gets a good tug or is hit just right the insulation can fall off leaving the bare wire to short to the exit hole in steering box.
