It's a pair, and it's located behind the front bumper, drivers side. (You need to look from beneath)

Try connecting them both directly to a battery, then you should know soon enough ;)

Hi mate, just had a member last week with the same problem, dut to where the horn is its open to every element the british weather can throw at it. Try what jetil said, its usually the connections go bad, try to give them a clean, also check the fuse as any bad connections can blow the fuse

Hi

I had a horn fail on a Granada once IIRC it used the car body as ground and the connection corroded badly - cleaned that up and bingo horn back in operation. Might be the same case here possibly?

thanks for that will jack up this eve and have a look

since both have gone looks like a ground issue is likely
