The horn circuit is the most complicated and confusing circuit in the whole
car. Basically the horn is supplied power directly from the fuse box and its
ground is switched at the steering wheel hub.
The power side is direct and simple. It's the ground path that's complicated
and that's where the problem almost always is.
Max didn't tell us where he disconnected the horn. If he simply removed the
fuse, it's likely that this fuse also supplied other things and those other
things are also likely suspects. If he removed a wire from the horn, then that
narrows things down to the horn itself, or the long, complicated path to the
steering wheel and to ground.
