What kills a relay?

[kappage]

For Christmas for my car i was given a set of airhorns i followed the wiring diagrams and got it all installed, now just yesterday (friday the second) it stopped working.. I was there looking at the wiring checking all the fuses the fuses were all right then i tested it by, bypassing the relay and it still worked. So after realising it was the relay i jimmied it open to find it completly rooted, heres a layout of the wiring diagram, i threw out the original but this is how it was setup.

Before the battery terminal on the car i have got the required 12V 30A line fuse before the 30A 12V Relay..

Not sure what messed up the relay, but the fuse should have been a 25A fast acting type.

Why should it have been a 25A? It said on the instructions a 30A, which it didnt come with so i had to go out and buy one.
