Default Help! Horn Will Not Work

Searched threads, cannot find help on this. Horn will not work when the steering pad is pushed. The horn will sound when alarm is activated. Replaced relay and checked fuse all good. I have heard something about the switch in the center steering wheel going bad but could not find the thread on this. How hard is this to replace myself? Any help will be apprecited

the wire under the horn pad on mine became dissconnected, a easy fix, it was in the top of the column and didnt have to mess with the air bag.

Here is the LOW DOWN on how your horn works and a few things to check.

If your horn works with the alarm system and remote functions, the problem will be the contactc in the air bag area as previously stated OR take a look at ground G-201 and make sure it is in good condition and tight. It is located in the drivers door frame rail sill area. Remove the plastic sill plates and look on the inside of the sill near the curved area. The ground connector is in asmall well.
