Default Horn not working

I recently discovered that my horn does not work. I checked all the fuses and tried replacing the relay without success. I can hear the relay click when I press the horn, but no sound is made.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to troubleshoot the problem?

There have been many cases of problems with the horn membrane. With the airbag this is not for the faint-hearted

Take a look at this one:

Thanks for the link, but I do not think it is applicable in my case because the relay still clicks when the horn is pressed. Any other suggestions?

Looks like you need to check the voltage at the horn next then

Get a digital multimeter and check the DC volts at the horn harness underneath the right front bumper with someone pressing the horn inside the car. If your have 12V than you need a set of horns.
