    You have four likely causes:
    A bad horn can stop working
    A bad fuse/relay
    A short/open in the horn circuit

    Check all those

    Yanivz,
    Did you find a solution? Dealership wants to charge me $800 for just the horn assembly to fix/replace it?!

    I second the clock spring (spiral cable). My horn just stopped working again today.
