Hello,

After storing my 996 for 6 months the horn did not work. Then after about a 1/2 hour only one of the horns worked and quite softly it seemed. Later not working at all.

The fuse is OK and I thought I would check out the relay.

Can anyone tell me where the relays are hidden on my car?

I have read there is one wire to the two horns so it sounds like the horns might have both gone defective at the same time. Any thoughts??

Relay position 10.

That would be second row from the top 5th relay from the left.

It is not at all uncommon for both horns to go bad.

Yes, and they are not hard to replace at all, one nut and connector Have to remove front bumper cover. You can often find a new pair of identical shaped red Hellas for the same price as a single black OE Hella on fleabay. The only difference is the wire connector. If you want the easiest change, get them from Sunset. Cheapest is on flebay.
