Horn Problems

Hi Jason!
Can you hear the relay clicking (as you say you get power into the relay)? What have you W2 connected to? When you get a relay with four terminals (instead of three with the old one) you have to connect all terminals to get it working correctly. Two terminals are for the initial relay ( W1 and W2) and the others for the switch/contact ( C1 and C2). So if the horns are wired to earth and C1, then C2 has to be positve (Batt+). If W1 goes to the horn push (it should , I´ve just found a circuit plan from my MkI) then W2 should go to Batt+ as the horn push should be wired to earth.
I hope this helps and be careful (disconnect the battery as soon as you can smell or see smoke!!! It can happen, I know). Also check that all connections are clean and tight.
Cheers Joachim

Horns are one of those things that take a few moments to lateral thinking to work out.
Is it clicking at all?
4 connections on a relay...
2 are for the part of the relay that activates the switch.
2 are for the actual switch itself.
See below for what I think is happening...
