I would agree with you. Remove the connection and test for 12v on the loom when it is being pressed. You will then have your answer.

 ,and also you can test the horn itself by giving it a direct 12 Volts,but since you got clicking sound when you press the steering wheel,then you are fine from the inside to the engine fuse box,which leaves you with the option of bad harness from fuse box to horn,or the horn itself.

If its a dual tone, it could be a corroded connector on the horn. I took the wire off & had it as a single tone.

It is a pain.....but try removing one wire at a time from the horn to see if at least part of it works.
