I would take the horn out and try it NOT in the car and see if you can
get it to work. They are pretty prone to failure and if shorted they do
draw a lot of current. The points inside could be welded shut, since the
coil in there makes it an inductive load so it sparks when they break.
(Wonder if anyone ever put a capacitor in a horn...)
What year is yours? I have a diagram for a 72.
