The clicking indicates the relay is working.Use a jumper cable, clamping it to the horn and a good ground.

If the "click" is coming from the horn you could try moving the adjuster on the horn itself. I think you said you had them apart so adjustment could well be out.
Adjust the screw a small amount (less than 1/4 turn at a time) the flash accross battery and adjust again. You could leave connected to battery but the whole neighborhood will be there with their baseball bats if your wife hasnt already.

Dear Gene and Tony,
I thank you both--I needed to follow both of your recommendations. When I attached the jumper cables to ground, I still got only clicks. I then disconnected everything from the relay and attached a jumper wire to one horn only--it needed adjustment, as Tony indicated. After adjusting, I got a loud and clear "beep." I did the same with the second horn. I then reattached everything to the relay and I now get a nice blast from each horn in beautiful harmony--and Tony, I did all this when my wife was out of the house!
Thanks again,
Jim

Good to hear they now work.
You were wise to do it while the wife was not within hearing distance.
