Hmm, there's not much under there which could leak?

There's a carbon can and that's it from what I remember?

Check all the fuses, check voltage is getting to the horn etc.. if it's wet under there for whatever reason, maybe the horn mount is corroded (which is also it's earth). Clean it up and try again.

Definetly see if voltage is getting their first tho.. (Rules out fuse etc.., and indicator stalk that way!)

It needs to be bolted to the car as it uses the chassis as an earth.

Carbom can sits just next to the horn, something to do with petrol vapour in the fuel tank :S
Check all the connections, if its got wet may have shorted the fuse. The fuse for it is the passenger side scuttle panel next to the washer fluid.

like mat says it needs an earth through the chassis to work, so tie wrapped to the carbon conister wont be helping!
