I agree with Steve (he has been great help to me). I feel like the wiring master now. We are completely restoring our cal spec (see Paul & Brian on page 2 of gallery) and started with nothing.
As Steve said, look up where you brake pedal connects to the master cylinder under dash. There should be a switch with a two prong plug on the dimple of the brake pedal. If the switch is there, depress brakes and see if you have power at the switch. Switch may need to be replaced.
While you are under there, check your fuses. I use a very small flathead screw driver to pop the fuses out. Make sure they all look good.
With the horns, disconnect one horn side and see if you have anything. Again, check for power while someone is holding down the horn ring. Also, take a wire and run from the battery positive side to the horn. The horn should work when touched. If not, the horns are bad.
Grounding is a big issue with these cars. Horns have to be grounded. Tail lights have to be grounded. If something does not work, rund a ground wire from object to a good ground and try it out. That may show you it needs to be grounded better.
Your car is cool. ;D

Great advice, and thanks for the compliments. I will check the brake switch, but I also wondered if anyone knew how to check the headlight switch since the brake lights and horn circuit breaker are supposed to be integrated into this switch per the manual? I do have tailights, blinkers, headlights, so I know those parts are working (and presumably grounds are working). I will check the items you suggested. Thanks! Casey
