A few minor problems with the Tib

[Killco]

This is kind of a dumb question, but does a horn relay make a clicking sound when it's blown? I know relays on some cars will do this to let you know it's bad. The horn on my Tib won't work and the only thing I can think of is that the relay may be blown since it makes an audible click when I press the horn button. (not loud enough to hear with the hood closed or anything)

Also, is there a chance that a fuse/relay being blown would cause the running lights on a single side of the car to remain on as long as the key is in the on position?(The guy that had this car before me was an idiot and messed all kinds of stuff up)

Horn relays, like all relays, use an electromagnet to pull fourth (or repel, depending on the circuit) a series of contacts. A small voltage activates the magnet, which causes the switch assembly to move towards it and "click" the circuit closed (or open) on a much heavier current draw system. If the relay did NOT click, then check the wiring to it with a volts gauge. An easy way to test the horn is to unplug it and hook up a multimeter to the horn leads, and press the horn button. If the relay clicks and there is voltage, then it is the horn. If it does not register voltage and there is a click, then the problem is after the relay and before the horn.

Great tip, I'll try that. Thanks
