Clickety-Click, but no Beepety-Beep??

[Donster]

I can hear the horn relay click, but no horn sound.
Is this the symptom of a bad relay or bad horn or something else? How can I verify? Tried another relay, same symptom, but not sure if the 2nd relay is any good, the both could be bad.

Never had a actual Horn go bad. I would start with the relay

On my 86, both horns are weak. Maybe they can go bad.

from my experience, weak horn usually means a bad connection or ground. But I guess it could go bad. I think they are made up like a coil inside

It can happen with age.  The old girls hooters went south on you.  I've got a pair from my 87 if you want them. 

I replaced mine with a pair from Advance.  Same horns that are used on the DeLorean.  About $15 each.

If you hear the clickety-click then the relay should be okay. Disconnect the beepety-beep connector at the beepety-beep and while someone falls asleep on the beepety-beep button, check the voltage from the connector to ground. If that's about 12 oompaty-oomps then the beepety-beeper has gone further south than it should.
Unless the ground where the beepety-beep mounts has become goopetied-up. If you remove the beepety-beep and hot wire it to the oompety-oompher, that will certify a bad beepety-beeper or ground or connector at the beepety-beeper.

This is hilarious!
