I know it is down close to the battery, under the battery or something. I have gone out there and looked with a flashlight, i have looked down from the hood, up from under the car, i just can't find it. If anyone can post any pictures, diagrams ANYTHING that will help me locate it. I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Im not to sure where it is, But you can always have someone honk it while you look. May be loud but you could ind the general area.
 






I did, and thats how i know it is under the battery, but i can't pinpoint it exactly, even standing there and listening to hit being softly honked.

Isn't near the radiator? Either infront or behind the grill area? Are you looking for a little black snail?
 






I am looking for the horn, so i can unhook it, i have a new one i am putting in, but i am unable to find the exsiting horn, the factory horn, so i can get the wires and tie them into this other one.

Its located behind the bumper. Take it off, and you will see it right there.

PS, i'm sorry to appear like such a idiot, but i SERIOUSLY have not been able to locate these damn things.
 






I dont have fogs, but its behind the metal bumber. So I guess up from the fogs. I can get a pic for you in 2 hours or so when Im home. But you'll need to take the bumper off..

If you could post a picture that would be great. I will go out and look again in the mean time.

Like I said, it will be a few hours.. as Im at work. If you havent found it by then, I will take a pic(truck is torn down in the garage).
 






I Finally Found Them, there are two of them there is a jumper wire between them, and then a blue wire that makes the go on or off, it looks like they are grounded back to the frame is this correct?? In theroy, i should be able to make a plug, plug into the blue wire, and then just ground the other side and it should work like normal right??

Yes, the horns are grounded by the mounting bracket.
 






Alright, i got the horns working now. It sound BEAUTIFUL. Just needs to be louder, i am currently running four horns i took off a cadilac in a salvage yard. They work good, but it seems like some of the newer vehicles have what almost sound like full scale air horns, anyone know anythng about these?
