Default 85 horn problem

Just purchased my first corvette a little while ago. When I got it the horn worked now the horn isn't working but I seem to hear a click behind the dash. Could my horn just be shot or is a fuse blown? And if anyone knows, does the 85 have 2 horns or only 1?

There is a second fuse behind the panel in the center of the dash above the radio. First check the fuse panel on the dash behind the passenger side door. Then the inline fuse center dash.

You can always run a hot wire directly from the battery to the horns to test. From memory there are two horns......one each side.
