The ground wire of my horn is connected to one of the bolts where the top engine mount bracket connects to the motor.  The bolts came out on me. and the horn quit working.  One bolt was all the way out & the other was almost out.  Needless to say they went back in with loctite.  If your ground wire is ok, check the horn connection for the presence of 12V.  If that is ok, remove the horn & make up some temporary wires so you can connect it directly to the battery.  You will know if it works then.  If not, replace it.  Most generic car horns will work.  I believe the factory horn is the "low tone" version.
