Default Horn problem

My horn does not work when I press the horn butoon on the steering wheel or when I lock with the key fob. The panic button does set off a horn. Is it the sam horn? If so, I checked the fuse and took a relay from another location and tried it but no result. Any ideas?

The factory horns are turned on by micro relay #36, which in turn is energized by the steering wheel switch, or the BCM(when locking the car). So if the panic mode works with the factory horn, something does not make sense.
