Intermittent horn failure

Hi, I have a 98 Accord and the horn is intermittently failing. Sometimes no
matter how hard I press, there is no sound. Other times, it will beep even
with a soft tap. Obviously, though, this is a safety issue. If I needed to
warn someone and the horn didn't sound, there could be a problem.

Does anyone know how to fix such a problem? For example, is it easy to get
under the steering wheel cover and check there? As always, I appreciate any
help.

Put on hearing protection and determine if you've got two horns working,
then check connections from there back, especially ground connections.

Put on this bumper sticker : "Horn not working, watch for hand gestures"

Thanks, there appears to be only one horn, near the front right part of the
engine. I have no idea how to check connections back. Can you provide some
instructions or point me to a website that might discuss this procedure?
