The "clockspring" carries power for steering wheel mounted accessories from the steering column into the steering wheel while at the same time allowing the steering wheel to rotate.
you need to replace the clockspring in the steering column
A clockspring controls the air bag, cruise control and the horn. I had mine replaced. On a Grand Caravan Dodge.

Checking the fuse is definitely a great idea. Is it just the horn or everything on the steering wheel? If it is everything, it has been my experience that when the horn or any of the options on the steering wheel do not work, it is most likely the clockspring. That is what was wrong with my vehicle. Luckily for my van, the clockspring is a dealership RECALL ITEM. Another indication that it could be the clockspring is the AIRBAG or possibly ABS lights staying on.
