Not sure what fuse is for the horn on a 2G... Howqever, the horn is just a simple 12V circuit with ther horn button as the switch, and the horn itself as the load.
If you can reach it, I'd start by getting 12V to the horn itself, to make sure it works. After that, check for continuity at the switch (horn button).
Normally the horn gets +12V all the time, with the ground going through the switch.
Now, I'll have all kinds of time to talk about DSMs, because I won't be busy fixing mine!

Actually there are two seperate paths it seems. One goes through the horn switch which when pressed trips the horn relay. The relay then closes the path to the horn turning it on. Please correct me if I am wrong here. -I have checked the switch in the steering wheel and it closes when pressed -the 15A horn fuse in the engine bay box still looks good -I swapped the relay with the fog light relay -I have also now replaced the horn Still no dice . Is there another horn fuse in the drivers side kick panel in the car?

You're probably right about the relay. (Do you have any wiring diagrams?)

Meter the Wires at the Horn, should get battery voltage.
I had to replace the Horn twice since I bought the car. Water gets in there and "pooch" them up.
You could also use a Ground Wire and a long Power Cable dirrectly to the Horn. You'll know if it works...

My bet is the Horn is fucked. Simplify your troubleshooting by wiring the bitch dirrectly to the battery, you'll know if it works or not...

Guys, as I said I have replaced the horn already . The one on the car is brand new. Uh oh Rob, I hope I didn't get the same kind of horn you did and have to rig something up.

If the horn you bought has two wire connections and the old horn on the car had 2 wire connections then you should be OK. I don't know if 1G's and 2G's have the same horn wiring. Probably though.
If the horn you bought only has one wire connection and you connected the constant 12V wire to it (assuming you have a constant 12V wire), then it should be honking constantly. Unless you hooked up the switched wire which is just ground. In which case, you've got no power going to the horn.
Does one of your wires have a constant 12V?
Do you have a test light? You can hook up one end to the battery positive and the other to the switched wire for the horn. If the light comes on when you hit the horn then you know that the horn button switches the horn ground.
