I started by jumpering from + to horn. Horn works. Pushing horn button does not even pick up a relay. Is the relay the square 1 hanging from the dash near the light switch?

I'll also try to clean contacts in the steering column.

If anyone has a schematic handy, they can fax it to me @ 610 326 4112. The local Advance doesn't have a CJ manual in stock:(
 
I looked through my manuals and couldn't find a schematic for it either.

Yes the horn relay is the one that hangs from the harness. It's square and I think it cost me about $13 to replace! So you may want to test for voltage to the switching part of the relay and then jumper from a power source to the horn supply just to make sure that it's the relay and not a broken wire.

I took the steering wheel apart, and the button and stuff were corroded. cleaned them up and I've got my horn back.

Thanks for your reply.
 
Cheap Relays

Just an FYI I found this out the other day when looking for a relay for my lockup torque converter.

If you know what kind of relay you need (NO, NC, single or double pole & throw) you can buy it much cheaper either at the auto parts store or radio shack. I found a relay that is the same as a horn relay for $6 versus $13
