Default Horn not working.. Both wires have power running to them .!?

This is very weird. Out of the blue both the SRS and my HORN are not working. ANyways the SRS light is on.

But what i don't get is why the HORN is not working. I checked the 2 wires that go to the 2 horns and they both have power running to them when they are connected!? But if i disconnect both wires from both horns then only ONE has power running to it!! the other one has NO power running to it!! Regardless if you press the HORN BUTTON or not!! one of the wires on both horns doesn't get any Ground/power when both wires are off both horns.

Now for the even weirder part. on the Passenger side if i put both the wires on the horn. The one that is always getting power still has power running though it. BUT the one that has no power/ground running though it has NO power running though it.

If i do the same thing to the driver side horn (disconnect both wires from passenger side 1st) the wire that has POWER running though it has power running though it when i connect it to the horn, but the wire that has no power/ground running though it. When i connect that wire to the horn it get's POWER!? WTF!!

Now if i leave the driver side horn connected ( both wires getting power now ) and i connect the passenger side horn.. NOW both wires on the passenger side get POWer!! holy **** this is nutz!?

Now i have swaped both horns around and tired honking the horn w/ only one horn connected and on each side.!

The horn only HONKS if i ground the wire on the DRIVER SIDE that when connected has power running though it ( but when not connected has neither power/ground running though it ) ..

Is there a relay or something that maybe went out!? This happend over night w/ the car just sitting outside!!
