by 1984 there might be a relay and possibly the factory location of the horn is different.

my 77 has them in front right by the hood release.

Yes, the relay (very heavy duty and repairable) in an 84 Ram D150 is on the fuse block in the cab.
I assumed the horn would blow whether running or not, but still haven't found a lead that gives 12 volts when the horn is pressed on the steering wheel.
It is a moot (mute) issue anyhow due to my one and only horn is defunct.
Not even a chirp when 12 volts is applied.
Bottom line: I need a new horn or horns before I can cipher the proper wiring.
The Chinese horns out there don't thrill me none, either.

Found a new old stock *Freeway Blaster* *Big Rig Sound* Made in USA horn on eBay and it sounds great!

My horn ring worked and my relay (on the fuse block) worked but still could not find the wire (DG/RD) on the engine side of the firewall.
I ended up splicing (in the cab) into the side of the relay that gave 12 volts when the horn was pressed, ran a lead out to the horn, and voila!
