Default Horn not working?

My horn is not working on my 89 vette i dont know why but it used to work a couple of days ago, i tried the alarm to see if there any wires cut but everything worked fine. I think its something in the sterring column, the car was stored for a long time maybe it got jammed? :chevy :confused:

Pop the horn button and clean the contacts; bend them if necessary.

I just put a flat blade under the edge and pried up. Just use a little caution not to mar the leather.

Yea, if your alarm is working it is more than likely a bad contact or loose wire in the steering column. As said before, take it all apart and clean, look for loose wires or broken contacts. Good Luck, guy
