The horn stopped working approx. December 17, 2019. Vehicle has about 155500 miles. Horn does not sound when vehicle is locked using key fob. Horn does not sound when center of steering wheel is pressed. One traffic incident already required the horn's use and it was not available. I verified myself that the fuse works and also that the relay works. I also accessed the horn itself and tapped it which made no difference. The horn is an important safety feature although used infrequently. It is not subject to wear and tear as a wiper blade would be.

2014 ford focus has a defective horn and does not sound, only clicks and lights flash, when pressing the key fob or the steering wheel. A 2012 focus driven by a family member has the same problem. I could not warn another car that he was drifting into my lane and he almost hit my car. There should be a recall and ford should fix the defective focus horns that a lot of people are having problems with.
