Horn doesn't work

My horn doesn't work from the steering wheel, but works when I lock the doors from the remote. What should I check?

Most likely it is the membrane in the steering wheel, a common issue. Here is the schematic. Not at home with the info on how to check it out. Let us know how you want to proceed. I doubt it is in the wiring but once you access it you can verify.

Since the FOB can make the horn work it has to be an issue in the circuit going to the fuse box.

Most likely the horn membrane on the steering wheel...this is what I did. If your research in the circuits points to the membrane then this is how you fix it.

That looks much easier then taking the steering wheel off like in the older days.....

It is not getting voltage to the relay when the horn is pressed. I will get a new membrane later and replace it.
Thanks a million for the information....It was a great help.
Thanks
