FYI, horn relay is in drivers footwell on the right behind a fusebox (Usualy red).
dont know where the brake light relay is but if its one of the relays down there, I would guess your problem is down there also

Check your brake light bulbs first, two going in quick succession isn't uncommon! (is your an abs light on?) If alls ok check the fuses if they're ok it'll be out with the multimeter!

My horn broke but it was the wiring inside the steering wheel, it;s now controlled by a seperate switch on the dash, like has been said check bulbs, fuses and relays first!

I can never understand why people jump on the idea that relays break down? They don't usually, they are very reliable unless they get wet.

My guess would be fuse, at least for the brake lights, but, as noted, it's not uncommon for both BULBS to go at once.

Check that the horn has power to it, it;s connectors are prone to wet.
