The 2g's have alot of problems with the horn buttons not working. I took a few pictures and figured I'd put put something in print to go with it.
First and foremost ALWAYS check your fuses first. Check both the fuse block located just above the left foot area inside the car and check the power distribution center (fuse block under hood) for blown fuses.
I prefer to check most electrical problems at opposite ends first and then work my way towards the middle of the circuit. The horn under the left front head light (on 99RS models at least) and the switches at the steering wheel are the ends of the system. It's easier to get to the horn switches themselves rather than the horn.
So the first thing you'll want to do is disconnect the battery. -edit: Prior to doing this, make sure you have your radio code if you are still running the factory radio. In many cases, you will have to reset the radio if you disconnect the battery. :end edit--You do this to protect yourself from having the airbag go off in your face. Make sure you disconnect the battery and let the vehicle sit for about 5 minutes.
--------The airbag system is designed to deploy when the vehicle is impacted in a certain manor. In the event that the airbags are not required to deploy, the system still remains armed in the event of a second impact. The capacitors are for accidents where power to the airbag system is lost. The capacitors provide that power source to keep the airbag system in operating condition until the driver can exit the vehicle.------
After the battery has been disconnected for five minutes, you can safely remove the airbag from the steering wheel. You do this by removing the four 10mm bolts that hold it to the steering wheel. There's one bolt in each area circled below. The two red circles indicate the horn switch location and on the back side of all four circled areas you will find the bolts.
