Default 89 Corvette Horn

89 C4 Corvette, Took the steering wheel off about two months ago to replace key switch because of a lost key, I put it back together today and went to honk the horn and it didn't work, I used a wire brush and brillo pad to clean all of the contact points, I don't know if cleaning them changed anything or I just wasn't paying attention but when I press the horn all I hear is a clicking sound in the dash, and I tried all key switch positions, also the car doesn't run yet because fuel tank and injectors are out. Thanks in advanced

How is the battery? Have you tried to put a basic test light or DMM on the horn Leads. I have seen unused horns corrode and not work a little smack and they may come to life

As to your horny problem. Test light on the horn wires. If you don't get anything, go backwards. If you do, new horns
