Default Horn stopped working?

I just bought a used 2004 crossfire coupe a month ago, and I love it! But today when I was riding, I decided to use my horn, and the horn was just gone.

The other times Ive used it, it atleast made some noise, eventhough it was kind of a weak one..

Could this have to do with a connection-problem? And how can I check it up myself?

Thanks,

jech

Some HORN info from the Repair Manual:

The horn circuit feed is from the fuse to the horn relay within the relay control module (3), both of which are located
inside the control module box (5). When the horn switch is depressed, it completes the ground circuit to the horn
relay. The horn relay coil closes a set of contacts which allows current to flow to the horns.
