Horn just stopped randomly

Was working fine one day, then all of a sudden it went out. Now when I press on it, I just hear a little ticking sound.

Horn just stopped randomly

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 21-Dec-02 AT 07:18 PM (EST)]yo Dass,
Ticking sound is prob. the horn relay energizing and closing to send (trying)12 volts to the horn(s).

Check:
Fuse (Power Distr. Box; driver's side of air filter box; #3 in our 96; also controls Speed Control, Flash-to-pass)

If fuse is good:
Check for 12 volts to the horns when the horn button is depressed.
If 12 volts are present, the horns are defective.
If zero volts, check horn relay and check for bad connections.

What year is the truck? Cruise or not? From what you said so far, I figure '91 or older with cruise. I'd also say the horn itself is gone.
