Default 85 Coupe Horn Issues

Anyone have any suggestions about the horn on my 85. I checked the contacts behind the horn button and the fuse as well as the contacts to the horns - all seem to be OK. I can hear the relay "clicking" behind the dash when I press the horn button and/or arm the alarm and then unlock the doors through an open window. Is it possibly still a bad realy behind the dash keeping the horns from sounding? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

well have you tryed looking at the horn wire my camaro did this could be as simple as one wire even if the wire no good wont work or let say wire got little bent could be some thing very simple have you test the power for the horn the odd thing is my horn button on my camaro the same as the vette
all so can be

HORN BUTTON LEAD TOWER
HORN BUTTON WIRE
HORN CONTACT - INCLUDES HORN LEAD WIRE
RELAY 84-90 REAR HATCH WINDOW RELEASE / 79-89 HORN RELAY - REPLACEMENT

Set off the forced entry alarm, then go check the horn for power. If nothing, remove the center info panel and test the output of relay.
