Horn stopped working

DefiantEwok

Finally made it
My horn stopped working; the only thing I can think of is that I washed the bike recently. However, it was a gentle shower and I didn't get it very wet.
I checked the fuses, everything seems to be in good order.
Any idea where to look next?

I would test for voltage at the horn to make sure it didn’t just fail. I’d check next for power at the connector leading to the switch. I don’t have guess at where the fault actually lay.

You washed the bike so it may also be that there was some water ingress into the horn switch perhaps. Dry out switch with a hair dryer on low heat. Maybe a multimeter check for voltage at horn terminals when you depress the horn switch; perhaps run a standard two wire cable from battery direct to horn terminals (after disconnecting the original cables from horn). Then as others say trace back … fuse etc etc.
