Hi all

As the thread title states, when pressing the right-hand side of the steering wheel, there's no sound coming whatsoever.

Are there 2 parts to a Yaris car horn ? - the reason I ask is because the left-hand side is working fine.

Thanks in advance.

There is a frame under the airbag cover that acts as the horn switch. It has three springs with plastic covers that provide the spacing and when you fully compress one the contact area of the frame touches the metal under it completing the circuit. One of those spacer springs may be damaged where it now prevents the frame from making full contact when you press that side of the airbag cover.
