Hi,the brown wire is the live feed to the horn and the white wire is the earth from the handlebar switch,its easy to check, if the brown wire is live at the horn then just earth the other terminal out (on the horn) to the frame with a piece of wire to see if the horn works,if not then the horn is faulty.

If the horn works when the wire is earthed ,you then need to trace the white wire back to the handlebar switch to see if its broken or maybe the tag inside the switch is broken.
