Can anyone tell me where the Horn Relay is located. Car is a 2019 FiST.

Have had no lock with Google trying to find where it's located. Just spent 2 hours replacing the first set of after market horns with a brand new Hella Horn set because a quick test feeding the old horn set did nothing. Now with the new horns in place I get a good loud horn set when I feed 12 volts to them with a Milwaukee M12 battery. Get in the car, start it up, and push the horn button and nothing happens. Get out the continuity tester and check the fuse at F38 and it's in perfect working order. The only things left I can think of is a bad Horn Relay or a bad Horn Switch. I'm hoping it's the relay because knowing how poorly Ford designs for maintenance I know full well that getting to the Horn switch in the steering column will be a royal first class PITA.

BTW, I have removed that STUPID hose holder clip that makes removing the fuse box cover nearly impossible. Now removing the cover is a simple matter of push the latch releases and lift the cover free.

Read my post please, word for word. It's a 2019 FiST and the horn fuse is at F38 and checks fine. That is why I asked where the Horn RELAY was located.

I added Hella horns to my Contour SVT years ago with weak output - never dawned on me they need a hard ground, I installed them thru plastic. Check your ground.
