Yes, here is a schematic of the horn system for your car. You will notice a little circular item in the schematic labeled "slip ring. This a circular piece of plastic with a metal ring on the backside of it and fits on the steering wheel hub and makes contact with the turn signal cam follower. It has a little tower on it that the wire from the horn button fits in. Have you checked the horn relay in the convenience center to see if it is good?

By your right knee near the ALDL, here is a picture of it. The horn relay will be a little square unit in it and not the item that is circuled in red.
