absolutely the most probable. is there a new source for these?
Relay locations vary, but only the horn relay should click when the horn button is pressed. You may need a helper.
(If it is the horn itself clicking instead of honking then that's where problem is). Swap relays and retest.

I JUST LOVE THIS FORUM! Got my car back after a year at the painter and the horn did not work. Cleaned the relay and it works. I NEED MY HORN! In the bay area you will miss many stop lights without it. Yesterday on my way home I had to sit while the car in front of me had a face buried in phone. No horn! I missed the light but driver ahead "woke up" just in time for them to make the light before it turned red again

Most likely to be relay or the +12V connection to the relay base. You can check your fuse but you will find it probably shares other functions. The car has dual horns that create a harmonic honk. So it is unlikely both failed together unless one was always dead and you didn't notice you were down to one. By the way some horns have a tuning screw on them if they are not performing properly.
Nobody uses the horn in NorCal, I love it.
Anyway, can you blame the painter? Perhaps he painted the diaphragms?

I have a pair of dual tone air horns if you want.
On our ex-1933 Packard Twelve Convertible Coupe Roadster we had musical air horns with 3 push buttons. One played "Boys & Girls Together" or Baah, bee, boo, Baah or al 4 notes at once there was also the main dual tone bheeeph.
