Check to see if you have power to the horn. If so, the horn is probably bad. You can check it by connecting directly to a 12V battery. The Rebel horn is puny, but you still might want to warn bystanders before you connect it. If there is no power to the horn the button may be bad or something in between got disconnected. If you need a new horn, let me know. I'm in the process of replacing the stock horn with two louder, Fiamm horns. You can have the stock horn for shipping.

I think i found the problem, I just dont have one lol.... so I may take u up on that offer. Here's a pic of the left side and im guessing the wires hanging down go to the missing horn. Also how many fuses am i supposed to have? I have 3 but i looks like ones missing? man this thing is full of surprises

Too dark & too late to check mine tonight, but the "missing" fuse may be a holder for a spare.

The Rebel has three fuses. It also has a few spares. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that maybe a bad horn was the cause for used up spares.

Are you sure you don't have a manual with your bike? Honda puts one under the left side cover.
