aftermarket or standard wheel?

the most common thing that kills the horn (assuming all the wiring is perfect) is the sprung button/brush connected to the hub that contacts against the wheel.

This is a wear item because it constantly rubs against a plate on the wheel.

you can either replace this or pull the spring a bit to extend it out a bit further.

could also be a fuse or relay or the horn itself, last time i saw his car he had a standard steering wheel on

connectors loose inside the wheel
or rusty loose connectors at the horn
simple test is to touch the two connectors when u have the steering wheel off
should work
if it doesnt go from there
