Go under the hood on the driver side in the ELectrical Center. Check the Horn relay and fuses. This will most often be the problem. If the relay is not clicking when you blow the horn, tap on it, or replace it with another one in the cluster to see if it is faulty.

I think all you have to do is pull on the cover in the middle of the steering wheel to get it to come off, but I've never removed mine. You might also want to try removing the relay and spraying some contact cleaner in the contact areas. If it keeps sticking, I'd replace it with a new one, they don't cost much at all. If you want it to blow just for inspection purposes, take one of the relays out of the box (say the DRL relay if they are not mandatory to pass inspection) and put it where the horn relay is until the inspectino is over. That way you'll be sure that the horn will blow. Good luck
