Horns weren't working. Fuse looked OK. Heard clicking when pressing horn button, so assumed horn relay OK. Replaced horns - still nothing. Any ideas as to the problem and how to fix it?

Get a digital voltmeter. Unplug one of the horn, and probe the connectors, from the vehicle, not from the horn. If there is power, horns bad. If there is no power, check the horn relay and possibly the horn switch.

OK, the white/Green wire seems to go to a large metal box with a gadzillion wires on it labels UNIT-CONT.EC AT K08AA OBD II D1 WJD68807 which I believe to be the Computer Diagnostic and not the horn relay but it did have a white Green wire.

I can barely stick my big fat head underneath - let alone wear two pairs of eyeglasses and a magnifying glass and a flash light but I did manage to check the
Green/white wire ( not the white-green and no power. what is the part number for horn relay?
