Got the taxi fully resprayed and now the taxi horn isn't working.

Any idea why and how to fix it myself if I can?

I would start with the basics. Connect 2 wires from the battery direct to the horn. If it does not work then you need a new horn. If it does work then start with the fuses and then move onto the connections. It could be something as daft as a loose connection. If after checking the wireing and the fuses it still doesn't work, teake it to a garage and say Fu** it.

A good old thump with a hammer or a Bat stick often remedies a horn...

Took it to the garage for an unrelated matter and also got the horn checked out.

Horn works when connected directly to the battery and the fuse for the horn was checked in the fuse box and its fine.

I don't know whether all the connections were checked as I don't know the location of them all but they did check the connections and it still doesn't work :/

Is there more than 1 fuse for the horn or a relay switch? If so, what are their locations?

Take your steering wheel off... and check to see if the carbon pencil that makes the connection has not worn out
