Default Horn not working

Rite guys I removed my front fogs on my98 Classic now for some reason I have no horn checked the fuses and all seem fine .

Checked the earths and also checked the horns via the battery and they come up all good . The front fog loom/plugs are still in place with nothing attached

What have I done wrong

If you plug them back in to the loom, does it make them work again?

If not, it's probably a fuse...and the only way to reliably check is to remove the relevant fuse and check with a multimeter.

No, that could cause a direct short circuit and melt some wiring, or blow a fuse if one's not already gone.

Alcazar I found this on the drivers side fuse box behind it was this

Looks like someone has done something to the relay and then put direct power to it
Why would someone do this and what relay is it please

Dont know off hand without checking mine but in the first pic, the heavy red cable and the blue with a red tracer at the top of the picture look burnt to me.

Mick I did think that but it's not . Rite I've had a look into it after work only to find out I have no power to the horns via the factory wiring

I've looked rite in the top into the dash drivers side and I can't see anything out of place part from a green plug up there which had the wire replaced only on the earth part .

I know it's only a horn but it's a pain
