Relay making Noise

I was warming up the car today to take around the block and after.10 minutes or so the relay on the driverside(the one connected to the battery) started making noise. If I take off the battery wire it stops but then I have no power to the car but when I plug it back in it starts making noise again. Did this relay go bad or is it a crossed wire?

Unplug the pink/black wire on the bottom of the relay, see if it has power with the key on. I don't have my service manual handy, the green wire is power to the horns, the black wire is the horn signal wire from the horn button and the pink wire is suppose to prevent the buzzer from sounding with the key on.

Make sure the screw holding it to the fender is tight, it needs to be grounded. And when you say noise is it clicking or a humm?

Thanks for the response guys. Its making a humming noise. First I unpluged the wire connected to the battery and it stopped. Then each wire one at a time but still had a humming. Went down to just the battery wire connected and still made noise. No clue
