When I restored my 66 chevelle the horn would not work either. I ended up putting a little jumper wire on the very bottom of the column where it hooks onto the stearing box. The horn just needed a good ground to work.

Subject: [Chevelle-List] Horns!

Mine doesn't work on my '66...hasn't since I bought it and restored it a way long time ago. I've been working on the details lately, so it's time to get it fixed.
 
A while back I bought the actual horns, thinking that would be the end of story. Plugged them in...not to be. Never so simple.
 
Does anyone have a really nice detailed exploded view drawing of what the horn contact assembly in the steering wheel (standard wheel) is supposed to look like? I think I have mine in correctly, I bought the kit when I restored it, but I've never quite been able to make sense of actually HOW the horn would go off in there....
 
Also, my horn relay may not be wired correctly. Is the horn relays sole purpose to sound the horn? And, when I have unbolted it from the radiator support and shook it lightly, there is something in there rattling....could be the culprit too.  ??
