Remove the power wire from one horn. Try the horn. If nothing works, that was your good one. If it still honks one, then it is the other that is bad. Just cleaning the wire contact at the horn may help. Also clean the wire contact at the horn relay. All this costs nothing. Trial and error on an old car can save you a lot of $$$. Good luck.

It may be possible to repair your horn. There are instructions on how to repair them in the shop manual for my 55 Plymouth.

I have done some work on my horns that might (or might not) help you:

Horn Relay and Wiring:

Rebuilding a 12 V horn:

You can test the horn(s) by running a jumper wire directly from the + terminal on the battery to the input terminal on the horn. Be prepared to be shonked.
