Relays clicking?

The reason I mentioned the air filter is that I moved some of the wires out of the way that run next to it. I moved them over slightly because they were in the way of one of the clips on the air box. I mean, I turned my car off, did the air box and then the horn was going so I thought that the short may be down there.

power to the horn from the relay - your relay is still being activated
by that short to ground in the "low power" side of the circuit - the
horn button.
What this has to do with your air filter is nothing. Coincidence?
