Thanks Gary and everybody - I identified the problem.
I do have one more final (maybe) question -
The replacement 12v horn I have grounds to the car frame/body wherever it's
mounted. There is one connection on the horn, which is positive. In looking
at the wiring diagram, I notice that the older style horn had two connections
(ground and positive.) The ground went to the relay, then the horn button and
completed the circuit when the horn button was pressed.
Since the modern horn is already grounded, how will I wire it?
Thanks for any and all help - remember, I'm a rookie, so need this type of
stuff spelled out like in a childrens book.

Rob, been awhile since I've done one, just trying to go by remembering
what I
had. Leave the spring under the str wheel. Mount steer wheel, then
should be a
hole in it that's smooth, not the two threaded ones, they are for
puller is
all. Insert the graphite end of spring/wire/graphite item into hole.
This goes
down and touches that slip ring all the time you turn or otherwise. Now
somewhere in here is a flat metal plate that will float maybe or maybe
the
center goes under the wheel nut to hold it in??? Somewhere a spring
goes in
center and pushes back on the horn button which is forced over the
first flat
metal part to hold it up off the middle stud or shaft??? When you
press the
button, it touches that shaft and is grounded ringing horn. The wire
going out
to relay through column is attached to that brass ring at top of column.
Now, I hope most of this is right! Kinda hard w/out parts in front of
me.
Also, I can't send to your address, it came back, so went to this site.
