Have you changed the steering wheel recently? There is a sprin loaded carbon brush behind the steering wheel which connects with the brass ring on the back of the wheel.
If you have changed the wheel they may not be contacting just when you press the horn the circuit is not complete to make it work.

First thing to do is turn the ignition on and listen to relay K2 in the fusebox to hear if it clicks when someone presses the horn push.
Next thing to do is pull out said relay, and use a short piece of wire to link together pins 30 and 87 of its base. Horn should sound.
