Most cars the horn relay is under the bonnet. Some older cars had direct switching from the steering wheel.

Yeah it works directly on battery and there is power to the horn but between the neg side and steering wheel is where the problem is.Put a blob of solder on connection but still no good.

Ther is no relay bud. It picks up power from the turn signal lamp/horn fuse, and supplies it directly to the horn. The earth side of the horn runs directly to the pusher which earths the circuit. Unless someone has messed with it, of course. Fault must be in the earth wire or the horn push connection.
