Horn will not blow
I have an '01 Z06 and my horn will not blow. However, if the alarm is triggered, the horn sounds. This leads me to believe that the malfunction is somewhere between the column and the horn. I have checked the fuse and it is still intact. Anyone have an idea as to where I should look first? Thanks for your input. On a side note, when I lock my doors, sometimes the driver door locks and sometimes it doesn't. I imagine that this is due to a failing door lock motor, assuming there is such a thing. Any ideas?

Whoa... found the membrane fix. I don't trust myself enough to do that. Looks like she is going to the shop. Still have a warranty, so its worth my $75 deductible not to be slapped in the face by a deploying airbag. I am sure they can fix my lock motor while they are in there as well. Thanks for the info.

I had the same horn problem - working when setting alarm but not otherwise.
Ended up being a defective turn signal cancel cam fixed under warranty at dealer ......... something like a $7.00 part but no way I was doing myself.
