Your horn may be intermittent due to worn slip rings between the steering wheel and column. Not a terribly difficult operation to replace, parts are about $74.00 and requires complete disassembly of the steering wheel. Unless you need the horn to pass a State inspection you can wait until the horn completely ceases to function before repairing.
