Default Horn problem.

So my horn will not work when i press it. When i press the horn i can hear a click sound that i think comes from the fuse box. The horn beeps when i lock the car and it honks if i set the alarm off. (factory alarm)
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I don't really know why the regular horn isn't blowing, but I do know that the horn you hear while locking your car (as well as the alarm) is a different horn. The reason I know is because I once took off my horn to replace it, and the lock/alarm horn still worked.

Horn dead, but alarm works. :(

Its probably just the horn sounders have packed up, i've had several Beetles that the horns packed up on.
