Help!!! I know it's not the most important thing in the world... But does anyone know how to fix my horn? I've taken off the central part of the steering wheel and thoroughly checked all of the horn connections. Is there any way to check the horn operation with different wiring and a different power source or is there something I might be missing??

By the way, it's an escort Freedom 1.4 mk7.
