check the fuse box in your engine bay...

if it's not blowing fuses then it may just be a bad contact. it could be in the wiring but that usually leads to a short.

there is also a wire that contacts the base of the hub that can break.

no horn = defect

Have you tried replacing this part?

That should fix your hooter.

i think the brake lights are running off the same fuse as the horn
if your brake lights dont work then its the fuse.

Ok well i checked my break lights, both were blown, so i replaced them, then i checked all the fuses, but all were fine, so i will have to take the steering wheel off later and see if anything is loose there!

Thanks for the help guys

test the horn by shorting the thick red and blue wire and the tab that comes out the bottom of the black thing that the indicator/wipers is connected to. horn should sound.
