Was the steering wheel or airbag ever removed? If so, I'd recheck the springs and connectors.

It was working just the other day...... I check the fuses.....To my knowledge the steering wheel was never taken off. Just purchased this car last week. All services were performed on time up until Mar 2017...

Hmmm.... Just to exclude one possibility, was the car ever flooded? Water can cause such electrical gremlins.

Hmmm... I'd try disassembling it and see if you can operate the horn manually. You might see something (wire/mechanical,etc) that's failing.
