USA SPEC CAR ? (MEANS SOLD THERE FIRST) OR VIN TELLS THIS.
I read the SM, service manual to you, horn schematics.
on 2009 cars, best is check all fuse just in case network errors are cause.
ok no BCM here.
so yes the relay clicks , and closes and honks the horn
shows 2 horns but using ground a23 and a24, got rust there>?
the fuse drives a fuse called HORN
10amp
if you do a 2 mean test, and gay1 honks, and guy2 listens to horn really and you hear it click , that tells you 2 things, horn button good
and CLOCK spring, horn pin not broken
and like magic if it did click, now you found it using EARS.

the book says
engine room R/B and J/B (horn relay)
engine bay fuse box has the relays. not cab.
again USA car left hand drive, not UK or other RHD cars.world wide

None of those would be fixed by replacing the battery. Or did you replace the battery and then all of those stopped working?

You can tell of blade fuses are blown if you full them and hold them up to the light. That is a whole lot of stuff not working. I would say you need a good auto-electrician.

If possible, pull the horn relay, use jumper wire on switch side of relay, right side in diagram. If the horn sounds, it's not the fuse. Sometimes these diagrams don't post, for some reason? good luck

Look at the underside of the fuse box cover. that's where the labels are.

In the fuse box under the hood or in a box behind glove box.

The first thing is to check the fuse and if thats sokay then check the horns they may be bad, if you use a testlight and have someone push on the horn button and see if theres power to it, if theres power then the horns are bad if theres no power and the fuse is good then you may have a bad horn relay or a problem with the horn buttons or a wire in the steering column,okay lets start with the fuse location, the fuse box is located on the leftside of the dash behind the trim panel, i have enclosed the fuse box diagram and circled the horn fuse which is in location #14 and is a 20amp fuse, take note that the horn fuse is the same as the lighter and glovebox light and power antenna, so if those things are working its not the fuse but you can check it anyway,the horn relay is located on the pass/side of the dash to the right of the glove box under the dash,there you will see a relay box with alot of relays, the horn relay is slot # 2, i enclosed a diagram of its location and the relay spot, hope this is helpful .goodluck.

The fuse box is behind the glove box. You might have to pull the glove box past the stops to access the fuses. The 15 amp horn fuse should be there. There is also a horn relay, which is usually located in the engine compartment relay box. Please see my tip if you want to check the relay socket: http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6022358-relay_check
