Default Horn no worky

Open to troubleshooting. I popped in a new airbag and now i hear a click in the relay box when pressing horn. Clock spring should be good as my cc works. Relay and fuse in relay box appear to check out. What else am i missing? Need an electric genius like ibd.

Horns themselves could be bad. I had a similar issue. Turned out to be a corrosion between the rivet and the contact on the horns.

Well I meant the connectors that actually hook up to the horn, just get a pair of needle nose pliers and pinch them down onto the horn to make sure they're actually touching
