factory horn issues

My presumably-11-year-old wimpy factory horn was working fine until a week ago. I took it off and tested it with a 12V/3A power supply and the horn itself works. So I tested the voltage on the wires feeding it, and there's less than 7 volts (seems to drift between the low 5s and 6.7V). Meanwhile, the cigarette plug on the dash was showing 12.75V. I don't know whether to suspect the switch button, the breaker, the source to the switch, or what. Thoughts? I hope I can get to whatever from below the dash and not have to crawl behind it.

Quick way to check is to get two wires to use as temporary 'jumper wires'. Remove the 2 wires on the back of the horn, attach the 2 jumper wires and connect them to an unused ACC switch. If it works, its the switch.------------------------------------------------------------------------------2010 Hurricane SS 188 OB
