I have found the fuse holder to be the problem. A corroded fuse clip will
add sufficient resistance to keep the horns from working. Resistance will
make for a hot connection and that may have "melted" your fuse.

Subject: [TR] Horn issues
I am trying to troubleshoot weak or no sound from the horns on my very
stock
1976 TR6. My shop manual describes an adjustment procedure, but I don't
believe that adjustment is my problem (and as usual, my horns don't have
the
described adjustment screw). I am getting approximately 6 volts at the
horn
connection. I suspect that I have some corrosion issue or a failing
relay,
but before I contine to scuttle downj useless paths, I wanted to determine
if
6v was the proper voltage at the horns. As I continued to press and
release
the horn button, I got more response from the horns as if something was
gradually releasing, but then blew the fuse. I looked in the archives,
but
did not find this specific information. If someone has experience in this
area, I would appreciate it.
Regards,
David Gill
