Default Horns don't work

Have a 96 LT4 and horns don't blow. I can hear the relay click under the dash, right side, when I press either horn button on the wheel. Horn fuse is OK. What next? Hard to believe both horns are bad.

Thanks, John

I have replaced the horns 3 times now. Everything else was fine on my Vette. I don't know why I go through them so quickly (about once a year, I need to replace). It has gotten to the point that I keep an extra set in the garage so I can replace them as soon as they die.

Thanks. I'll follow your advice. Those little suckers must get wet down there or something.

Mine sounds like between a Queer cow and a pig. Like I really know what that sounds like. But its embarrassing to say the least. They are not the originals factory one, I think I got um at Autozone. But I think I buy factory one the next time. Never seeem to have much luck with aftermarket ones. :cheers:

The factory ones aren't much better. My '96 has had the horns replaced at least twice, once under warranty and again by me last year.
