Horn stopped working.

Last week, after a lady pulled out in front of me, I hit my horn pretty hard and the horn would not stop sounding. I hit again and it stopped sounding but it also stop sounding altogether. It has not worked since. Any ideas as to where I begin?

I appreciate all help on this.

Thanks,
John

Horn button (switch) replacement questions

The relay and fuse were fine so I believe my problem may be the horn button in the steering wheel. Or could it be the clock spring?

My questions are:

Can you buy just the horn button(switch) and/or clock spring without buying the whole mechanism?

If so, how difficult is it to replace and does anyone have instructions on how to replace the horn switch?

I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
