Hey! I'm an MGA guy, but I think I can answer this one. Couple years
ago a friend had the same problem with a '76 Spit. After gleaning what
little there was to find in the shop manual, we figured out that there is
a braided ground wire inside of the universal joint (rubber joint as I
recall) at the bottom end of the steering column. Tough little job, but
we took it apart and repaired the broken wire to make the horn work.
