Horn not working
I just noticed that my horn on my 91 GTA stopped working sometime this summer. A couple years ago, I had to get a new switch put in for the right button but the left button worked fine. I checked my owner's manual to see if the horn had a separate fuse but the fuse that controls the horn is also for a bunch of other things (power antenna, power door locks, etc.) which work fine. So it couldn't be the fuse but I didn't pull it out to check. I don't think both horn switches would go at the same time. Does anyone have any ideas?

Horn relay
It's in the convenience center, not the fuse box, along with the hazard flasher relay and the annoying never-wants-to-shut-up buzzer and a fwe other things.

If ther relay coil is O.K. but doesn't operate, you might also want to check the ground connection at the relay socket. Depressing the horn sounder in the steering wheel pad should complete the ground circuit for the relay. If not, the horn sounder switches, brush, and slip ring may have problems. the pigtail/brush from the slip ring also needs to be secured in the turn signal cancelling cam socket. Most of that can be surveyed without removing the steering wheel, only the trim pad has to be removed. If you have an air bag, observe all the necessary precautions.
If the relay operates, but the horns don't sound, start looking at the ground connections at the horns themselves. Not at all uncommon to find those in bad condition.
