Check your ground connection; especially, the ground terminal connector.

Thanks guys... I just found the battery fuse is blown, the 80 amp under the hood. Its funny why did the horn work? what would make a fuse this large go bad, 80amps is a lot of juice. That relay your talking about can be resolder instead or replacing them, mine is staring to go out on me from time to time.
