Horn will not work!!

My horn won't work. I replaced the relay but it was for a late car. Do I need a relay specifically for my early (83)?

Something I must check as I replaced the engine recently..Horns have not worked since then... Also, I noted in PET that the relay looks like it has a fuse in the front of it? whats up with that?

You need to ground the rack to the cross member. Once you get under the car, you will probably see the dangling ground wire you forgot to connect or broke in the process of the engine replacement.

My first thought is check the horns. I have replaced mine over the years.
Check for the power, ground wire and the switch. The relay be my last choice as your horns were working prior to your engine work.
