I called the dealer and they suggested coming and letting them look. Easier for them. However, not for me. I have read the list a bunch of times. Everything works. Except the horn.
I took it out and connected it directly to a battery and it still doesn't work. Its toast.
hey... if you have a horn problem, i have about 20 of those horns laying around for sale [:D].
I manage a salvage yard and i have PLENTY of parts from the E-class (body style W210. On my signature is my number..... My name is Dominik, and i can get you a good deal on parts your looking for.
P.S. i have that same problem, but i never bothered to look into it.
if you find out that your horn does work... then it might be a problem with your clock spring in between the steering wheel and the airbag.
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND FOUND A FUSE UNDER THE HOOD ON THE RIGHTS SIDE FENDER AREA WHERE THE ECU IS AT YOU HAVE TO REMOVE SOME PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS ON THE ACCESS COVER AND THE FUSE IS UNDER THERE.

Now looking for a horn also.
There are two fues for the horns: Nos. 40 + 41. They're located in the fuse box next to the master brake cylinder.
When I first got my current E320, about a month and a half ago, only one horn was working. It was not a fuse problem but the horn itself. They use these very cheese horns nowadays that don't seem to last very long. I replaced them both with a set of Hella Supertones and I'm very happy with them. They have the much more classic Mercedes tone and are also quite loud.
Hope it helps.

FYI, I was near a dealer and stopped. The horn is not called a horn on the fuse chart. It is something really strange I cannot even remember now. Something like Declare or Announce. I have only one horn, directly between the two cooler fans in front of the radiator. Mercedes wanted about $80. I found one at Pep boys for $20. Works fine. (The mercedes horn was shorted. apparently a common problem.)
It's called "fanfare" on the fuse chart, fuses #40 and 41. I just came from the inspection station and my horn didn't work. We couldn't find horn on the fuse list and couldn't figure out why it didn't work. Luckily he passed my inspection on the promise that I'd fix the horn. Thanks to this forum I found it was just the fuse. I never would have found that fanfare fuse.
It's the 10 amp red fuse on the top right corner of the photo, just above the 15 amp blue. It should say 40 next to it.
