The horn has one wire to it - a live, it earths thru itself. Try taking it off and cleaning the are it bolts to and the face of the mounting bracket too, then bolt it back on again.

The hazards have probly stopped working because of the relay. It should be attached to the bulk head by the wiper motor, try taking it off and checking the terminals arent corroded, failing that they are only a couple of ££ to replace.

mmm, maybe it could be the hazard switch that doesn't work, when I first got my car I changed the switches to black ones because they had gone grey and my indicators stopped working, it took ages for us to solve the problem until cowboy said to change the switch. I know that it was a indicator problem but im sure their all linked tho :erm: So all I can suggest is check the switch in the car!!

the hazards and horn are usually on the same fuse, this may be an inline fuse hidden away on the bulkhead somewhere, have a poke around and see if you can find it.
