Should be clear that the problem is in the steering column horn mechanism, but to fix it you will need to remove the air bag.. Are you competent to do that safely?
The problem is likely the rotating coiled ribbon contact under the steering wheel called the "Clock Spring" Always disarm the Airbag system before starting any work on the system.
A horn circuit first must have power so check your fuse. Then it goes through the horn switch (on the steering column) then through the horn relay and then to the horn itself.
If you changed the horns did you check to find out IF the horns were getting DC voltage to them first? If you don't, then it is either the switch or the relay.
Easiest way to find a vacume leak is to get some soapy water in a spray bottle and when engine is running look for any appearing bubbles that would signal a leak.

The Horns are located on the Radiator Core Support tucked away underneath the Head Lights and Parking Lights. Some are mounted inside the Engine Compartment also attached to the Core Support. buried under other components nearly inaccessible.
Check ALL the fuses with a 12 volt test light.
Change all that are burnt.
Also.....check the wire going to the horn (at the horn) with your 12volt test light if the fuses are good.Have someone push the horn button.
It might be the horn or horn relay that is defective.....not just the fuse.
I replace more horns than fuses.
check B+ in the horn pin and check the ground on the horn if there is B+ and B- just change the horn if there is no B+ on the horn conector replace the relay .
B+ = battrey power
B- = battrey ground
