Topic: 36 horn wiring question

  Purchased a 36 Sedan a few months ago and I’ve been sorting some things out. One of the items not working were the horns. I took both horns off the car and bench tested them.t he passenger side worked, but the capacitor or resister on the drivers side was bad. I found a beat up horn at a swap meet and used the insides on the drivers side. Now they both work on the bench. I tested voltage coming from the horn button and get about 7 volts, but when I plug everything back together, matching up the colors on the wire insulators, I get nothing from the horns. Then I went to start the car. When I depressed the starter button on the floor, the motor turned over, but both horns blew at the same time. What am I missing here? I checked the schematic and the color code on the wires looks correct
