OK, nothing to do with the manual trans...was simple as it turns out. A blown fuse. I checked one fuse box but didn't know that there was yet another one! Tech checked it, found the culprit, changed the fuse, all is good.

And George Camp, you may have something since a third pedal was added along with a new bracket, etc. at the foot of the steering column.

Dumb question, but are the horn ground wire and fingers fairly easy to access? I am not as agile as I once was ;-). A horn circuit shouldn't be that complex by golly... If all else fails, back to my tech I guess...

George you have had some major work in that area (transmission change). I would start by checking that the ground wire and fingers on the steering column are in place and working.

Gonna check this out...the horn on my 1990 XJS is not working >:-/

If not the relay are there other things that I should be looking at?

Thanks.

It is where both George & Art have said, the relays are inward of the fuse holders and it is the second one from the front. I think the four relays are all the same, if so, use one to check if is actually a relay problem.

in my book it indicates that it is on the LF front wing. next / alongside to the fuse box it appears and being the centre relay..... good luck Art

Bob did you not find it on the LH wing --very forward-under a cover (black plastic).
