There was a great thread on here not too long ago about how to rebuild them. First try spraying some WD 40 inside. Worked for me!

I had 2 sets that did not honk.I took out the hex head adjuster screw,then submerged them in Evapo-Rust for a day.Draiuned out the Evapo-Rust and blew them out and they now work perfectly.

I fixed mine with a well placed whack with a hammer while someone was pushing the horn button. They get stuck after years of not working.

I tried the wd40 and it helped some, Im going try to hit with a hammer, one way or another it will be done!

I have the horns out of the car now, can I just try to power them up with a car battery, or is that too much?

No, that is not too much. Even though it is only 12 volts, horns are inductive and can generate voltage spikes that can shock you. Not kill you but surprise you.
