Default Horn issue

My horn stopped working today. When I press it, I could hear a clicking noise but nothing else. I checked the relay and swapped it with a known good one. It still has the same issue. What is my next step?

I would check the horns by applying power directly to them. I used jumper wires to apply power to them directly from the battery.

Does the horn honk when you press the "Panic" button on your key fob? If it does does that pretty much narrows it down to a problem in the steering column. There are very good posts on replacing the horn membrane which is the actual switch for the horn. Test the membrane before buying a new one. I eliminated this as my problem so I started a thread looking for other solutions:

I believe Bluemill's reply has the solution to my problem but I have not tackled the repair yet.
