First check the actual horn with a seperate supply to make sure it works even if new.
Then get multi metre out and find whether you have a permanent live or earth it sounds very much like yours will be a permanent earth, so the live is swithced.
Now check the earth is present at the horn wire by doing a resistance test between body/engine/battery and the earth wire you should have continuity.
If all is well you know it is the live supply stopping it from working, as the relay clicks you know it is ok between horn push and relay, so check between here and it's output live to horn.
