Default Horn Problem

I can go to my car and beep the horn right now, go back 15 minutes later and beep beep, go back 15 minutes later, NOTHING. Tomorrow the same thing happens. Everything is new except for the horn. Any suggestions?? Also, is the wire to the horn supposed to be hot all the time? Thanks.

If the relay clicks every time, it's probably the horns themselves. There are two horns at the front of the car. Hook an alternative power wire to them and see if they work.
