Default Horn not working

I just noticed that my horn isnt working I have checked the fuse and its good, when i push the horn I can hear a click but nothing else could it be the horn itself or is there some kind of relay I need to check.

I'm with STL, sounds like the horn itself is dead.

Berfore you replace it with a new one, try smacking it with a hammer. if they dont get used for a while sometimes they freze up. Dont try to destroy it but use good force. Hit it a few times then dee if it works. And if it dont, repeat the prosses a couple more times. I have personally done that numerous time with success. Hope that helps.

Interesting, I took my horn pad off, and apart, to see why it wouldn't work, and put it all back together beautifully, but still no horn. Will have to try the hammer trick I guess.

I checked every fuse, etc on that thing.
