I'm no Dan Masters, but I've always found the most likely culprit is not ge=
tting a solid ground from the horn button, especially if it works sometimes=
, when wiggling the wheel, etc. You can connect the purple/black wire as th=
e negative end of a test light to check. All the little stuff inside the st=
eering wheel must be just right. The steering column itself must have a sol=
id ground (to send to the relay via the button). Check the ground wire that=
goes thru/around the steering column rubber coupling and the ground wire t=
hat connects to the steering gear box.
Mine 'self blows' when I'm hard cornering, which always makes my wife laug=
h. Yea, I know that problem comes from inside the wheel/button. Someday..

I have found that the horns themselves stop working. New, Italian-mate hor=
ns are available at the local parts stores for around $10 each. But check =
them out first.

A newbie question from a 31-year 1976 TR6 owner =96 Where=92s the horn re=

it somewhere else? I have Dan Master=92s book so if it=92s not the relay,=
