Have you checked any of the wires? Have you tested at the horn for voltage? The horn could have just died, not totally uncommon.. not really normal either though... Maybe it's time for some real horns.. lol..

Can you hear any clicking from the relay when you try to hit the horn?Have you had any work done on your Vibe lately? My horn was "dead" because someone forgot to reconnect the wire. I had to check it myself

Any help or ideas would be nice.as the others have said, check the components, however if it is the horn a quick fix would be advance auto +$20= New and better horn...(cant stand that toyota provided one)Or for a little more, maybe the hella twin horns....

Problem is, they are about 60+$ for them... While what I showed above is about 30$ on Amazon (so ~60 total for 2 compressors and 6 trumpets..!!) LoL...

This would have been a good factory option . . . "Decent horn $60"Nuummi could have quadrupled tripled the cost difference..

That sounds like a loose connection to me. If it came loose, and then fixed itself once , it will do it again, probably when you really need that wimpy horn; like when a soccer mom in a Excursion is gabbing on her cell phone, and she is doing a lane change without signaling. I've been waiting for my horn to fail so that I can get something louder, like from and Excursion.
