My Horn has just stopped mid way through anger!
all of a sudden last night walst playing a tune with my horn, funny as it sounds!

similar thing happened to mine... fuse was ok... at first i thought it was the relay.. so i bought one... it still didn't work... after more research i replaced the clockspring and it fixed the horn issue...
edit:
I see you tested the horn. Maybe Wichi is correct in thinking the clockspring. Or, maybe the relay is arcing and failing, not passing a full 12 volts under load.
Sometimes those old electrical horns just overheat and die. Put a meter across the leads, and have someone press the horn with the key on. If you get 12 volts, the horn(s) may be the issue.
