I'm troubleshooting the horn on my '03 Impala. The fuse is definitely OK and I swapped out the relay from my '05 Impala which is good and the identical part, and neither the high or low tone horn works. I can hear the pulsing clicking when I actuate the alarm with the key fob, and still the horn doesn't work. I checked the power to the horn plug with an analog multimeter by actuating the alarm and the multimeter needle jumps with each pulse, so I know that power to the horn is OK. I also connected the horn terminals to the battery posts with jumper wires, and the horn still doesn't work. For all intents and purposes, it appears that both horns are shot, but it's curious that both horns would fail at the same time, or maybe they failed one at a time but I never noticed the change in tone. I'm just trying to be sure that the clock spring or some other breach in the circuit isn't the culprit. I also checked by pressing the horn with the steering wheel turned to various positions. Nothing. (I also have nobody available to help by pressing the horn while I listen for the single click of the relay, which I can't hear like I can when I actuate the alarm and am able to hear the repetitive clicks) Thank you.

Any idea what could be wrong with my horn if the beeping stops on its own when I push the alarm button? It only beeps twice and stops, it got stolen several months ago and I don't know what they could've done to it. Thank you!

How much of an ahole does one need to be, to utilize your car horn enough, for the horn to stop working within the life of a vehicle?

I would just leave it broken in my car. I've never used a horn anyway, except accidentally once when i was cleaning my windshield.
