Horn doesn't work

I don't know what's causing it not to work. Does this happen alot on the airbag wheels? Man, I need to buy an '89 Formula wheel.

I would check out the horn button. I had horns that didn't work in a car I'm working on, and after replacing the steering wheel (and consequently a new horn button) they started working. It took several presses of the button to get them vibrating and the dust out, but they've worked fine ever since.

First take out your accessory fuse.
Pop the camaro emblem steering wheel cover off with a screw driver
there should be another piece of metal that clips into the wheel itself with a yellow/orange (forgot which one) wire attacthed to this metal. The horn sounds by making a ground. Alot of the time the plastic piece comes apart from the metal holding bracked and wont make a ground until its fully pressed on hard. Same thing goes if your horn button never comes off.
