Just about finished the series 3 rebuild and have a silly problem in that the horn don't work, i have tested the horn with a seperate feed from battery and it works fine, have tested the feed wire and that is fine, tried a seperate earth to it, and don't work, so either i am missing something or i am going mad, been at it all day today, What else could it be ?

Iirc the horn switches to earth so power looks like it's getting everywhere it should if the switch is dodgy.......if you see what I mean

iirc the horn wire inside the indicator switch can come off or the connection break sometimes, when I got my s3 the horn had been wired separately to a flick switch and wouldn't work from the stalk when I tried to wire it back, so I did the same as you, got a new switch and everything was fine
