Default Horn problem

My horn fuse was blowing, at least twice. Now, when I push the horn button on the steering wheel, I hear the relay click in the fuse block under the hood, but no horn. The fuse is not blown. Do the horns themselves go bad alot. If so, can I replace it with something like a Stieble horn, or a generic replacement, or is there some intensive wiring needed to install an aftermarket horn? This is a 2000 C5. I just finished replacing the gear on the drivers side for the headlight. Thanks for the excellent instructions on how to do it. Other than having to contort my arms to get the bolts and nuts out, it went well..

Didn't have any way to raise the car up and get underneath, so I took it to the garage, with 2 new horns I happened to have at work. They replaced them, and Viola, my horns work.
