Icon6 No horn.

Hey guys,
Since I bought my car a couple months ago, I noticed that it doesn't honk. The horn is there in the engine bay, and it's connected but it just wont honk. Can anyone tell me how to wire it please? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Does the horn honk if you wire power to it directly from the battery?

To be honest I haven't tried that yet, can you please tell me how to do that?
Because whenever I try and honk from the steering wheel it won't do anything.

The horn power wire is Wht/Grn and the ground wire is Blu/Red.

Connect an extra wire to the + battery post and another extra wire to the - battery post. Touch the + wire to the Wht/Grn terminal of the horn and the - wire to the Blu/Red terminal of the horn. It should honk. If not, replace the horn.

Have you tested 15A hood fuse 52? Click the fuses link in my signature.

Do you have an aftermarket steering wheel?

You can probably pick up a cable reel cheap from a junk yard or eBay or the Marketplace.
