Horn Not working?

Hey all, ok she has been running great.. and I am now working off little things. I put in a new steering column but I can't get my horn to work. (I haven't really tried for awhile.) I just used the old horn and connected the wires. I need to go back and refresh my memory on the wiring, but I am trying to think what the problem might be. How are the old Horns? They seem pretty simple, but could it just be bad? I literally have everything working well (except my AC) but that's not a problem right now.... Just looking for a small project to do in the garage during the cold weather...Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

apply 12v directly to horn ... horn works ? check for voltage at the electrical connector.
horn doesn't work ? replace horn.
it's entirely possible that you just have badly corroded terminals on the horn so don't forget to inspect/clean those while you are there.
