not the sounder that does the horn,
the horn sits behind the front bumper and the original horn was pretty poor,
first thing id do is check the fuse, if its okay go to the horn

remove it and try power it off the battery, if you **** your pants when you touch the wires onto the battery then horns not the problem, if nothing need a new horn,

if horns okay check for power at the connector for the horn, test lamp and someone pressing the horn,
