Have you checked the connections on the horns themselves?

ok simply take a live feed straight from the battery to live side of the horn if it works then its a switch or a live feed problem
if it dosent take an earth from the battery to the earth feed on the horn if it works then its an earthing problem remove horn or horn earth then clean and refit hopefully it will work then
ceri

if not buy a new horn lol
do you have a multi meter?

Not sure what year you have, but on my MY00 one of the horns was very corroded so it stopped working. You should tackle the job with a new horn, as standard are very poor anyway.

I'd recommend one of those Stebel Nautilus Compact airhorns. £30 at Halfords but you will need an in-line fuse (£5 with fuse), but I think it's worth it. I've got one on my classic and it's so much louder than even the 3 horns I had on my car originally.
Stebel Compact Nautilus Car Horn from Halfords Price £29.99

139 db at 2" I believe. That'll get anyones attention.

Check the plugs haven't come loose from the steering wheel. If you tugged too hard on the harness when you were looking up the codes for the knock sensor, something may have come loose.
