[W126 Coupe] Horns not working

[Markus Meyer]

You can't go by how a fuse looks.  Either test or replace.  Do all if you
replace them, cheap, easy, solves a lot of electrical gremlins.

Thanks,
Markus

notorious for false positives. Did you check the fuse for the horn? It's
shared with instrument lights if I recall. When you push the horn did you
blow the fuse? The horn contact plate could be your issue if so. The relay
is in the engine compartment fuse box from memory, you can pull it, clean
the contacts and a dab of di-electric grease, but that's rarely the source
of the problem.

dash that an electrical device (light bulb,etc) is malfunctioning. I checked
my fuse and it appears to be in good shape. I suspect that there is a horn
relay somewhere in the circuit but I don't have a wiring diagram; can anyone
tell me what and where I should be looking for?
