Good idea. Will check around to find a piece of matching color wire loom (any recommendations?). Picked up a tone tester today at Home Depot as I an determined to find where the break actually is. Thanks for the pictures,I did a continuity test on the wire in question as my final test after chasing this problem down. I can mix up wires as well as anybody but in this case it's hard to do as there are just 2 wires to the horn relay one hot, one ground and the other end of the ground was connected to the steering box wire from the horn ring. The wire ends at the bullet connector between the relay ground wire and steering box wire are in bad shape, wonder if the bullets can be heated and the solder melted to remove and install new wire ends. If not does anyone know of a source for these original type connectors?
In the mean time, have installed a jumper from the steering box wire and the relay ground terminal and the horn works fine.
