Default Broken Horn, Mk6 Escort

Horn has stopped working in the car for one reason or another.

I've checked the fuse (number 28 i think!) and thats fine.

Whats the best thing to check or do, as obviously im not too mechanically minded and am wary of the airbag. Could it be a wiring problem or could the actual horn have broken??

The car has only done 70,000 miles and everything is in good condition. Have never known of a horn to break before!?

Any help appreciated

It's a lot more likely to be the horn that is duff, some have a screw that can be adjusted to tune back in.
Check with a test light at the hron to see if you are getting live and earth, if you are then the horn is duff.
