you need to pull the steering cowling off to have a look first
the horm switch plug is at the top (little black plug which is a bastard to get disconnected)
short the 2 bits out with a poke of wire to see if the horn actually works
if thats the case then you will find that its either the push switch for the norn (which means getting a new switch) or the rings inside the stering wheel (been there, done that, almost impossible tosolder back on properly again) which means anotehr steering wheel

when you pull the cover off you will see this
as you prise the inner horn push off, you need to make sure you are prising the outer portion of the horn push not the wobly bit you push in and out or else you will break it
you need to dig deeper and use a pair of smaller screwdrivers and work your way around
and this is the other side
i don't have any pics of what you will find under the steering wheel though as i ain't got no bits left

could be, have you tried to give it pure power directly?
fused and safe of course, but you should hear it working
put a wire to the horn itself
trail itout to the battery
find a fused fuse holder type thing
whack a fue into it
touch the other side ot eh + of the battery
the horn should give out a bit of a loud parp!
if it don't then you've have to se if the earthing point was ok or not
otherwise the horn is probably fooked as it's got water damage or something from living so close to the road
