Check the contacts first to make sure they contacts. If they do, test horn.
Check the actual horn. Clean the contact points and apply dielectric grease to the contact points. Test the horn for resistance. Check the horn relay.
Fuse. If the fuse is good you can un plug your horn and connect a test light to the connector and have someone honk the horn. if the test light lights up, you need a horn. if not you need to trace the circuit for an open.
To check if a car horn is bad, start by pressing the horn button while someone else listens closely near the horn itself. If there's no sound or a weak sound, the horn may be faulty. You can also check the horn's wiring and connections for corrosion or damage, and test the horn with a direct power source to see if it works. If it still doesn't function, it likely needs to be replaced.

You should be able to switch the relay with the horn relay and then check to see if the horn works.
Try to operate the horn and listen for a click from the horn relay probably located under the hood. If you don't hear a click I would check out the horn switch contacts in the steering wheel. If you hear a click I would check for power at the horn using a test light. If you have power at the horn connection when horn switch is activated it is probably the horn itself that is bad. If you have no power at the horn connection when the horn switch is activated replace the horn relay.
To replace the horn on a 2000 Grand Am GT, first disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety. Locate the horn, which is typically situated behind the front grille or near the radiator. Remove the mounting bolts or screws securing the horn, disconnect the electrical connector, and then install the new horn by reversing the process. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the new horn to ensure it works properly.
Check for voltage at the horn connector. You'll need a test light or multimeter (and a helper to push the button). If you have voltage at 12V or higher.. get a new horn. If not, check the fuse and the relay. If those are okay, too I'd take it in to a professional.
Hi There could be a few things wrong, The contacts where you push for the horn, the contact ring under the driving wheel bezel, harness, fuse, or horn it'self. I would test the horn by using a jumper lead wire from the positive [red side] of the batt, and to the plug on the horn, if it works then You check the fuse, if they are ok check the wiring. IMHO It's most likeley to be a bad connection at the horn or a dead horn. PS: Also make sure that the horn is well grounded to the chasis. Check in this order. 1]Fuses 2] If horn works by giving it power from the batt. 3] good ground 4] Wheel switch with a test light on the plug that goes on the horn and the other and on a ground [ any metal part of the body, or - terminal on the batt [black wire] press the horn if the test light lights up thenit's most likeley the horn.

To fix the horn on a 1997 Mazda Astina, first, check the fuse related to the horn in the fuse box to ensure it’s not blown. If the fuse is fine, inspect the horn itself for any visible damage or corrosion on the terminals. You can test the horn by connecting it directly to the battery; if it doesn't sound, it may need replacement. If the horn works, check the wiring and the horn switch in the steering wheel for any faults.
To fix a VW horn, first, check the fuse related to the horn in the fuse box and replace it if it's blown. Next, inspect the horn itself for any damage or corrosion, and ensure the wiring connections are secure and free from corrosion. If the horn still doesn't work, test it by connecting it directly to a power source; if it doesn't sound, the horn may need to be replaced. Finally, if the horn works but isn't sounding when the steering wheel button is pressed, check the horn relay and the wiring from the button to the horn.
