now i know this is quite an old thread, but i have the same problem again.
i took out the twin horns a coupld of months ago as i was tired of hitting my head off them.
when i rebuilt my engine the other week, i had a reshuffle of the engine bay and found a spot for the twin horns to be reinstated.
However, i have totally forgotten how i wired them up and after had a look at the wiring diagram found via google,

i still havent been able to get the ruddy things to work and i cannot reinstate the original horn, as it clocked it with the engine and its knackered beyond repair.
so, can someone shed some light on where i am going wrong

Do both horns work ok when connected directly to 12v? Old horns can be quite unreliable.

One horn is enough for the MOT.......

If one works - so will the other. Connect them in parallel.

thats what i have done, but connecting them to the original wires, i get nothing. I do have a relay, but even following the diagram as before, i get nothing.
still, one horn works and thats an mot pass, but two would be nice
