Try finding the horn under the hood. See if you can get the red probe from a multimeter on the wire going to the horn. Set the multimeter at 20Volts. Touch the black probe on the multimeter to a ground on the vehicle(any bare metal). Get someone to press the horn in the car. Watch to see if you get voltage on your multimeter(should be about 12Volts). If you don't get power there then check at the fuse box next. Good luck.
Check to make sure that horn is connected at the steering wheel. Remove the portion of the wheel that you push to activate the horn and reconnect the wire. If that doesn't work check connections at the horn(s).
Make sure that the wires are grounded. One should be connecting to the horn itself, while the other one should be bolted onto the car nearby. I had this exact problem with my '03, and I felt like such an idiot when I finally figured out that my second wire wasn't grounded
the clicking sound you here is the switch get out a test light go straight to your horn have someone hit the button if your test light lights up your getting power next thing to do is to check ground use a ohm meter and check for less then .5 of ohm of resistance any more is bad and you should run a new ground if your still un sure hook the horn straight up to the battery and see if it will go off lol good luck!!!
Most horn sytems on vehicles have power to the horn, and the horn button simply completes the circuit to earth. Check to make sure the earth lead bolted to the front panel is clean and tight, check also that there isn't a horn relay under the fuse box cover, it may be faulty. You will need to make sure that at least one of the wires to the horn has 12 volts going to it, if not, the fuse may have blown. Hope this helps.
when the horn isn`t working can you hear the horn relay clicking in the dash.if so then the horn is the problem or you have a bad/dirty connection at the horn itself.
when you push on the horn button do you hear a click.if so this is the horn relay working which tells you that the button,fuse,relay and wiring is good.there is a fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.it may be that the horn needs replacing even thought the truck isn`t very old.
I think I'd have to gamble on a new relay, and clean up contacts in those sockets with electrical cleaner, then add dielectric grease before plugging in new one. Do the pump first obviously.
