DD - Thanks for the link to the horn troubleshooting. It was very helpful. Again the Multimeter is proving a very valuable diagnostic tool.
Looks like the horns are getting power when the button is pressed and since they do nothing with supplied directly from the battery it looks like time for new horns.
FYI - The 130 db freeway blaster horns at Advance Auto Parts seem to be the same part I'm finding on the Napa website. Picking up a set @ lunch.

Rain tonight so I didn't get them installed. I checked the wiring with my multimeter. Both were receiving 12v when the horn button was pressed. The ground was touching the bolt the ground wire was connected to. I'm with you on both failing, but both were dead when connected directly to the battery.
