You can check the brake lights by removing the two wires on the switch and running a jumper between them. if the brakes light work, then its the switch.
One of the wires has power all the time - get a test light and see if you have power there. Make sure the battery is hooked up.
If you don't have a shop manual, get one. Any one who works on their own car should have one. EBay usually has them all the time or try the TBird parts vendors. This may help in trouble shooting the horns.
Another suggestion - join CTCI (Classic Thunderbird Club Int'l). Great bimonthly magazine and it has helpful articles in caring for a little Bird.

For a car sitting that long, you should check the entire brake system.
