    Not really looking for a fix, I'm just ranting. 2 weeks into trip with my travel trailer, my horn decided to fail me! Fuse is good, I guess it'll have to wait until I get home. Utah is stunning!

    Check the horn connector. My tacoma had a positive only connector. Meaning the horn is grounded through the frame. Essentially the bolt that fastened the horn to the radiator core support.
    Since there are 2 horns (high/low pitch), unplug and test for continuity/ voltage one at a time if you have a multi-meter handy.
    It could just be a bad ground. It's possible only 1 horn has been working and you never noticed.

    EDIT: NVM don't listen to my advice. Keep driving around without a horn. People are oblivious to the braking needs of truck+trailers and now you have no way to warn them. Not trying to fix it immediately shows your willingness to neglect the safety of yourself and others on the road.

    You must have inadvertently activated Stealth Mode!
