missing that honk

My alarm on my truck starting acting up about a week or two ago, and stopped honking along withthe flashing lights.... and yesterday i went to manually honk the horn at some jackass and_____________ nothing. why would my horn on my 02 stop working. what should i look for under the hood as far as fuses or wiring issues????

Well it looks like your problem is you need to go mudding more.. then you'll get a CB & PA speaker and have no use for a horn! I yell at people all the time on my PA.. horns are so impersonal!

i do need that pa/cb all my buddies keep buyin em and comming to me to install them. i wouldnt be too concerned about the horn except it doesnt go off for the alarm which is a bit distressing because even if someone is not trying to break in it lets me know to reset it....for some reason my alarm goes off until reset or the battery is drained- I dont get it either any one know where the relay is or what fuse it is without me having to check my manual, I'm at work right now and cant get to it fast enough
