Jay,  Congratulations.  You are having better luck than I am - even though I 
was offering advice.  I can't get the high horn to work at all.  

Listers - I connected the high horn to a power source with a ground and 
adjusted the screw in both directions and never even got a sound.  Do these 
die? Any other advice for the high horn before I go to look for a new one.  
If the advice is to buy a new one - shall I work with the big 3 or go to the 
local automotive store.  If the local store, what shall I ask for???

Moreover, here's the real mystery.  The low horn is in place and adjusted.  
It works wonderfully most MORNINGS.  I try it again at night and nothing (not 
even a relay click).  I try the next morning and it works fine.  That night - 
nothing.  This has been going on for 1-2 weeks!  I have cleaned and checked 
with a meter the steering ground near the fire wall, replaced the two wires 
at the rubber steering shaft coupling and cleaned and checked the single 
black wire on top of the steering rack.  What am I missing?

 ready to buy a new set before I read your post.  Thanks a lot.  One less
 thing on my list to fix.

 According to the Haynes manual - yes.
 
 The manual sugests turnign the adjustment screw until you hear nothing.
 Then
 turn back counterclockwise 1/4 turn for the optimal setting.
 
 Good luck. >>
