My guess would be to check the signaling system fuse. But, again, if the flasher are working, it must be another fuse.
 
Did you install a new plate holder? If so, check your wiring.

As far as I can tell, there is no specific fuse for the horn only. So it is probably grouped with something else. I would check and see if there is anything else not working. If everything checks out, I would concentrate on the wiring starting at the horn connection.

Start by check voltage where the horn connects, then go from there.  If no voltage there and the fuses are all good, possibly at the switch/button.

The horn goes through the signaling fuse. oddly they don't even use a relay, just wired straight from the fuse to the switch to the horn. Check the fuse, check for voltage at the switch and horn.

Most likely a blown fuse, check them all. Like mentioned by another member the horn also has a horn switch. However, majority of members have found the issue to be with a blown fuse.

The horn goes through the signaling fuse. oddly they don't even use a relay, just wired straight from the fuse to the switch to the horn. Check the fuse, check for voltage at the switch and horn.
And that's why a horn update should also include a relay - for 2 reasons. 1st, the extra current that new louder horn draws will not go directly thru the switch, which is likely pretty light duty. Eventually, the switch contacts will either fail or worse, weld together leaving the horn on. 2nd, the relay will allow that new horn to blast to its full potential.  
 
Adding a relay is easy enough. Just need some wire, some connectors, and an inline fuse holder.
 
The "signal" fuse is the horn fuse, not the turn signal fuse.
