I think there is another thread running with some things to check,
My thoughts would be
Check for power at the horn with a meter
Clean the horn and contacts
Is the airbag light on too as it could be the squib in the steering wheel

I'm here now. I think a good one is the one like this type. ebay number 391109411516 but do look for the cheapest. They fit nicely in the corner; you can just make it out in this picture (far right corner). I used a relay which I plugged the existing spades directly into.
BTW, I do have train horns running off a tank and compressor but on my Pajero; there isn't space in the Jimny for the actual trumpets.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI took Helijohn's advice, bought a cheap nautilus off ebay
and fitted it next to the existing horn. Like Helijohn I used the existing wires from the old horn to connect to a relay (few quid from a car parts shop), put a 15 amp fuse on a live from the battery and ran the final wire to earth.
I originally tried wiring the new horn to the existing wires, but there wasn't enough power and it just made a loud grating noise. Works fine though with the method above.
If you need more info just shout up.
