No,

This is just a test to verify that you can compelt ethe circuit from battery to horns.

It sounds like you may have a stuck horn button. Did you do the test of the horn button like I asked above ("Now connect one lead of your continuity tester to pin 85 of the socket and the other lead to ground. You should have no continuity. Press the horn button and you should now have continuity. This verifies that your horn button is grounding correctly. Correct as needed.")

Don't give up, we will get you there.

Rich's very nice diagram shows how the relay works. The basic rule in elctricity is that it needs to flow from one battery termoinal to the other. All the devices between (horn button, relay coil, relay contacts) just control the flow.
