If it was working before....
Probably corrosion on the slip ring under the steering wheel of on the
contact plunger (my term) that connects the button to the ring. Try turning
the wheel back and forth while holding the horn button depressed. Or remove
the button and contact plunger, spray contact cleaner in the holw where the
contact plunger was removed while turning the wheel 360 degrees...
Could also be a bad ground connection on the horn button...
Good luck!
