Horn Power
 

I just installed a new horn / light switch rod in my steering column. Lights - parking, low beam, and high beam are A oK. l don’t have any current to the horn. I’m not sure what to look for.

The power goes from the cutout straight to the horn, the ground goes
from the horn button through the light switch to the horn.

As Bob said, take a voltmeter check your wires at the horn you should have a hot to ground on the engine and then if you Push the horn button you should have a ground on the other wire

Searching the circuits out and refusing to the proper wiring diagram l did locate the problem.
Someone cut off the pos. wire and tucked it back into the sheathing feeding the horn. Now I need to rebuild the existing horn.

It is GOOD that you are fixing the horn. That is the best part of a Model A.

I agree with tha but it's a pity they aren't as loud as other similar horns on other cars. There is quite a difference between the Model A horn and the ones on Chrysler cars for example.
