Default Horn doesnt work.

I have a 1991 Cherokee with a tilt-wheel steering column. I baught it with the horn not working. I took the cover plate off the steering wheel to see what the problem was. When I push down the plunger (I think that is what its called, the little metal piece that activates the horn) nothing happens. I dont hear any connection or clicking. I've searched the threads and I cant seem to find anything that instructs how to fix this. If anybody knows anything, advice is greatly appreciated.

Have you checked fuses? That, I would imagine, is the most likely culprit.

yeah I checked all the fuses and they all worked, I'm not sure if the plunger is making contact with anything.

Are there two horn buttons? I know there are on my 96'. I would think if they both didn't work it would have to be power related. The odds of them both going would seem too unlikely.
