Where is the horn located?

My new 07 Optima EX is great in most all respects... the horn however is ... shall we say.. lame.

I have a replacement set of horns I would like to install but can't find the factory horn. I found the horn for the security system which is even lamer than the regular horn if you can believe that. Why there is a seperate horn for the security system I don't understand... but there is

Any help?

Well I still have not found the main horn.... but today I replaced the security system horn with a new one. The location on it is on the passenger side behind and below the Power Steering reservoir. I put on a set of duals that have a nice big car sound. There is plenty of room for the horns in there but no room to get your hands in there to work. Also if you have 3 or more hands it is a big help.

Well I found them. Yes the car has three horns in three different locations. The security horn is described above. The two service horns are located ahead of the front tires. One horn on each side of the car. The easiest way to get to them (which is far from easy) is to remove the plastic splash guards from the bottom of the car ahead of each front tire.

I too have recieved a couple of comments from friends about my girlie security horn. Thanks for the info. I'll be swapping mine out for a more manly horn soon!

There should be an adjustment bolt, to where you change the pitch of each horn. Hey Mr.Hyde, where at in Illinois do you reside?
