Dual tone horn location

Hi everyone.
My horn seems to have lost one of its tones. Don't use it that often but I'd swear it was a 'two tone' horn!
All I hear now is the high note, no low note horn.
The question is, where on Earth are they hiding?!

The horns a amazingly cheap,probably not from Lord Ford though  they just seize up with age and are irreparable,but check the wiring first of course.
GOZZ.

Not to be confused with the alarm horn, which is somewhere else.  That is right isn't it?

I always understood the alarm horn to be situated behind the battery.

Little update for you.
The wiring checked ok with +12v coming out to each horn so I cleaned up the connections and the low-tone sprang back in to life.
Thanks again!

One of the first things I do on every Scorpio is to pull the wire off the alarm horn!
