Horn doesn't work

Key fob makes the horn go off, but actually hitting the horn on the steering wheel and nothing...

I have checked all the fuses I could think of and have had the steering wheel all apart to replace the whole assembly and still nothing...

Any one on here have any other ideas?

Check the wiring properly..may have high resistance or an open circuit maybe the switch in the steering wheel is defective.

check fuse, if good, check to see if you have pwer at relay when pressing horn button, if not it could be the clock spring behind the steering wheel.

you can also check to see if you have power at the horn itself when pressing horn button 1st, it could be a bad horn.

well I was doing a bit more digging about clock springs and think that may be my problem....
SRS light is on, horn doesn't work, blinkers don't stop if wheel is turned, brights don't stay on if clicked.
