The horns are usually in front of the radiator, there should be a fuse and the actual horn switch inside the steering wheel provides the ground.

hopefully my last post about the horn other than it's fixed. their is a spacific fuse for the horn(15A) in the fuse box LH under the dash fuse seemed ok. i removed a sheet metal panal in front of the rad. the horn is under it on the RH side. the horn has 2 leads , but only 1 wire 2nd lead is broken w/o wire. today i'll buy an after mkt horn & see if i can find the other wire. sanded off the sm panel & spray painted it blk so shiny! had a couple of plymouth arrows back in the day forgot how much the japanese love 10/12 mm nuts & bolts.
