I have a 1994 OMC Cobra Ford 5.0 Engine. The warning horn does not work, whether when I turn the ignition on, or when I simulate a failure by grounding the oil pressure switch.
It gets +12V through the purple wire, but not -12V through the tan wire. Where should I look next?

Try grounding the Wire that Goes to the Pressure Switch, with the Ignition on.
Of course the Horn, might for be an Overheat

make sure you are grounding the correct wire. If I recall, there are 2 connectors between the temp switch and the main harness. make sure you have continuity.
