Here are some things it couold be, not in order of commonality.
1) A bad hot wire or a broken one somewhere.
2) A bad horn.
3) A bad ground wire somewhere.
4) A bad horn relay, usually found under the hood.
5) A bad contact inside the steering wheel, where you should be pushing to blow the horn.
As far as costs are concerned, where you take it and what they do I cannot calculate.
Suffice it to say it could be as low as free, or go up to many hundreds of dollars if it is determined that the problem is in the contacts inside the steering wheel, as that is where the airbag is, and sometimes those must be repaired by replacement.
God bless your efforts.

Some shops will charge for diagnostics. Then they charge so much an hour for labor. Parts is extra. Different shops have different pricing, so I don't know the costs.
If you want to do some testing, we will try to help. I can only help with testing.

SOURCE: horn ha stopped working completely;

Not sure of your year and model, but can't think of a sensor that would cause horn failure. More likely and air bag clockspring. Shop around for a better price! Your clockspring allows current to pass through to the upper steering wheel components, such as cruise control and the horn, and of course the driver's air bag module for which it was invented. Air bags are what happened to it just being the fuse! Sorry!

SOURCE: Replaced horn and now it

The fuse for the horn would be in the power distribution box located under the hood in the engine compartment (see picture below). Also below is a diagram of the fuse layout. The fuse you want to check will be the fuse in the number 10 position and should be a 15 amp fuse. There is a horn relay as well and the is the relay in that same box in the number 7 position. I hope this helps and good luck.

Does a 2010 Jeep Compass horn have a fuse? The manual doesn't help with this and the fuses in the fuse box(under the hood) are all good.

MK49 jeep 2010. usa answers me...
well buy the service manual or rent it

https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

there is no secrets here on this topic at all
just the lack of no book in hands or PDF
is this car USA spec car? not told country of VIN
so all I can do is tell you how OURS works,
for sure this simple thing (well is not simple like in 1990 and before) (alarms added and more)

not scanning the PCM first is failure #1
the MK49
the TIPM Tipm the SM shows a relay deep inside TIPM for horn ,but is vague o n location.
under hood, totally integrated power module.
has 3 honk paths or more.

here is the path horn fully.(path1 horn button)

horn button pressed or switch here bad.
goes to clock spring (not bad)
then to cluster brain,(honk commands)
to TIPM brain, via fuse F28 there.
and TIPM DRIVES THE HORN directly.

or an alarm trips the horn. visa CAN_bus network commands, and again not scanning , the obd2 port you will never learn why it fails.
chirp mode (keyfob decoder), alarm or the horn button fails. 1,2,3,
3 ways to fail, and more.

not scanning the OBD2 PCM port is why you do not
now what is wrong.
B2336???? 2339 horn switch stuck DTC> amazing no?
com fails if any kind (DTC)
the horn also has chirp logic (disable it is wise)

"Using a transmitter programmed to the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module, the status of the horn chirp may be toggled by the customer."


or the alarms on the car is failing and sending horn honk commands via Can-bus network; Unnnn codes?
CAN_BUS B and C must be error free (or LIN bus)

no alarms , no chirp mode junk enabled.
here is no internal schematics of the TIPM at all
so how it directly drives the horn is not shown.

scan it first. not last. or go broke fast. guessing wrong.

2012 Passat horn quit

Use a voltmeter at the horn connector and have someone press the horn button. If you see voltage at the connector, then the horn is bad. If you don't see voltage, then either the relay is bad, the clockspring, or the horn button is bad

How do i replace the horn on 2010 patriot. Cant locate it.. anyone know

This vehicle should have 2 horns. One on each side. It would be unusual for both horns to be defective. Possible horn relay/horn pad or fuse problem. You can test the wiring with a test light for power and ground to determine if it is a horn or power/ground issue. Here is a generic picture of the horn locations.

Horn saturn vue

It depends on how many amps the 2010 trail blazer horn uses & the size of the fuse for the horn in your saturn. The horn for the trail blazer should be labled on it somewhere as to how many amps it uses & you can find the horn fuse rating in your Saturn by looking in the owners manual. If U can't find or dont have the Saturn owners manual find the fuse block and the horn fuse location should be labled look for the fuse rating on this fuse, pull the fuse itself if U have to but remember to put it back. If you know the rating 4 the trail blazer horn and the Saturn horn before you try to switch them it will save U time and you wont fry the horn wires possibly in the Saturn. Good luck!!

Horn ha stopped working completely; was told by mechanic that it needs a sensor which costs $300+; what happened to the old replace the fuse?

Why would a horn require a sensor?
I don't buy it.
Tell us more on the make, model, and year.
If someone told me the horn was $300, I would wire a new horn and button on the dash for $15.
