Horn question

When I press my horn, I hear a clicking (kinda like the sound the blinker makes) coming from the fuse panel area. (67 c10)

Does that mean the problem is my horn relay, or does it sound like that when it's working and the problem is elsewhere?

thanx

That's your horn relay and it's working but your horn is not.

The horn relay connects the red and green wires like a switch. The red wire powers the green wire which goes directly to the horns.

It's possible that the relay is bad and is clicking but not connecting the two wires. You could pull the connector off the relay and jump the red and green wires and the horn should blow. The red wire would have to be hot and the green wire would have to go through the firewall block to the horn.
