Default horn not working after rain

Yesterday evening it poured down rain into the jeep... at 3:20am my roommates and I were rudely awakened to my horn going off randomly. I figured it was some kid being a punk.... this morning I went out and tried the horn and it doesn't work. I figure it sorted out bc of the rain. Has anyone had this problem? Any solutions? Thanks!

Default I want in on this too...

...just poured here in WhoDeyVille as I sat for the last few hours at a local establishment having a couple of adult sodas. When I got in the Jeep to leave a couple of hours ago, I had 3" of water in the cup holders, so you can imagine what the footwells looked like. Pulled the drain plugs and drove home. Horn just did the same thing. Turned the key to start it, tried honking the horn myself, and nothing.

I assume you had the roof down. If so, they only thing in the horn circuit that could have been affected is the clockspring behind your steering wheel. Those things seem to go bad left and right.
