    Doubt you blew a fuse. Pull the horn pad off and you'll see a spring loaded pin held into the hub with a plastic housing. If not, that's your problem, if it's there, ground the center of the pin and see if the horn sounds. If it does, check the underside of the horn pad to see if the pin is making good contact and when the pad is on the wheel, it grounds to the hub when the pad is pushed. If it doesn't sound, pull the pin and housing and insert a metal pick making sure you ground the pick to the hub. If you had a horn with the Momo, it should sound now and the pin was not making correct contact. The reason why you couldn't have blown a fuse is that the horn is a ground switch, so any accidental contact with ground would have only sounded the horn as you had experienced. Good luck Allan

    Alan, Yes the horn contact pin is installed but it's about 30 degrees out in my garage so I'll fiddle with it later, not that urgent or fun right now. But why am I hearing the clicck of something trying to make a connection when I do push on the horn pad and no honk? Thanks for all the info I will try your suggestions soon, do horn contact pins go bad ? Thanks David
