Thanks much to all for the suggestions!  Yes, I did check the fuse (see
below).  Does anyone have a (working) multimeter that they could bring to
the gathering tonight?  Thanks!  Colleen

The easiest way to diagnose the problem takes 2 people. Put a multi meter
on the horn itself and check for voltage when the horn button is
depressed. If there is voltage it is the horn. You can then replace th
horn with the $10 horn from Auto Zone or such.
