Does the button click when you hit the button? If it does then it could be a short between the horn and the actual horn.

next step is to test your horn by hooking it up to 12V.

Try jumping your horn with jumper wires directly to your 12volt batt. If your horn works than its either, a fuse, rely, wires/connection, or a switch.

honk button, that made me laugh.

When I first bought my CRX, the horn didn't work. The problem ended up being in the steering wheel itself. A little metal tab that gets pushed onto a metal ring to complete the circuit and activate the horn was bent out of wack. I just had to re-bend it. It's something to check.

Is your SRS light on? If it is it could be your cable reel in your steering column, (Well it could be that regardless) anyway... The manual should tell you where the fuse is.
Mine dosen't work either

it cant be the cable reel because he said he hears the relay clicking when he pushes the horn.

Someone probably cut the wires that goto your horn planning on stealing your car. I would check that. Thiefs! Thats why I relocated my horn into my engine bay. Its louder also.
