time for you to learn how to do some troubleshooting. First check the connections on the horn, next check the fuse (or vice versa) finally pull off the horn pad on the steering wheel and make sure the wire is connected to the back of the horn pad.

Was the horn working previously, did it suddenly stop, or has it never (in your ownership) worked?
Did the cessation of the horns' function begin with a 90mph frontal impact?

The 911 has been sitting for five years.

I think the horn may also have a relay. I don't have access to anything to doublecheck right now.
Check the fuses and the relays (just swap the relay for another one for testing) then hot wire to see if you can get sound then check the wiring for the button.
