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.
