Default Horn stopped working

Hows it going everyone!! So, yesterday i decided i didn't like how my horn sounded so i figured I'd check it out. This is a 98 GS300 by the way. I found only one horn working and the other one had a rather large piece broken off of it. I hope I don't offend anyone with what I am about to say but, the horn sounded like a deaf girl having an orgasm. And trust me I know what that sounds like. My old room mate dated a hot deaf Japanese girl. So I had the pleasure of hearing the "noise" every weekend. Back on topic, I have a spare horn laying around and when i plugged the clip to it, it didn't work. I have checked the horn fuse in the engine bay as well as the horn relay. Could I be missing something else? If anyone has had the same issue I would like to hear how you took care of it. Thank you.

sometimes if you get water in the horn...the horn goes out until it dries out.

The car was in my garage all night and it was completely dry. Plus the other horn i used was sitting on my parts shelf for a few weeks. Is there a fuse in the passenger compartment for the horn? I traced the wiring for it through the bumper behind the right headlights and towards the fire wall and didn't find and breaks. And when I press on the horn I can hear the relay on the drivers side fuse box close to the fire wall make a clicking noise.

Ya I have the same prob, one of my horns doesn't work anymore... I took out the horn fuse and put it back in and ever since it hasn't worked... weird. The alarm sounds both horns but not the regular steering horn. Help.
