Horns frequently fail because of poor earths/corroded connections. Maybe separate some connections, clean them up and see if that helps? I’m not sure if this horn earths through the mounting? If it does, unbolt it, clean everything up and bolt it back up again. Of course, it may be that the horn itself has broken – test it by running a couple of wires to it from the battery.
Good luck!

Thank you, Keith. That’s very kind of you.
Part of my recent health problems has been “breathing difficulties”, so I entirely empathise.
Best wishes,
Barry

Hi Tom, Tried everything including new relay . Culprit was the relay connections on the horn side in the actual fuse box ? so everything still worked including the horn . . .past the relay ? was starting to think it was a broken cable . Ran out of time looking and of course it failed the M.O.T. ! but my horn now works. So got a clean bill of health.
thanks Tom stay safe
