    Horn Location

    Where exactly is the horn located on a 2008 Ski Nautique 196 Limited? And how to access it?
    When I press the horn button on the dash, I can hear a heavy clicking/clunking sound. Looking under the dash area (and forward) on the driver's side I can feel the vibration from the clicks on the black box with the blue bottom as shown in the attached photo. It is the box with the triangles and rectangles. I have looked and felt around everywhere and cannot find the horn.
    Thanks.

    The horn itself isn’t under the dash — that clicking box is just the relay. On the 196 it’s usually mounted up in the bow area, just behind the front rub rail. Easiest way is to trace forward from the relay wiring and you should spot it.

      Thanks, angrygiraffe. After more poking around and getting some more advice, it appears the horn is located within the well area I have circled in yellow. The horn is going to be very difficult to access. That well area is part of the fresh air intake opening, and I would either have to take off the large air intake flexible hose or cut a hole in the black fiberglass well (and then patch the hole). That flexible hose itself is difficult to access because of my heater vent hoses and other wiring in the way. I have spotted a set of wires going into the well area through a very small hole and I believe those are the wires going to the horn. I may just buy a new horn and mount it elsewhere. I'll try to find a wiring diagram to confirm that before I start cutting. In the meantime, I will keep a small, compressed air horn on board.
