Horn Problems 1997 E300D
Horn not working, after much reading on forums it is usually one of three:
-Horn itself (tested mine on battery, works great)
-Horn Relay
-Horn Fuse
-Steering wheel contacts/spring
On the horn relay, forum talks about fuse 41, but mine doesn't have a fuse 41. I know on some W210 it is tucked close to the 38 pin connector, my 1997 E300D does not have it. I have checked all three other fuse boxes. My model has a few additional fuses under the cover that is in engine compartment on rear passenger side - one thread said on my model the horn fuse is there. All these fuses are good too. So I think it is probably not a fuse issue.
So....I think next thing to check is horn relay, but I cannot locate it. Any assistance here?
Once I isolate that, then I know it must be in steering wheel, but wanted to leave hardest job until the end.
Thanks for any help.

Out Of Control!!

The reason why the front drivers side fues and relay box is called that---is because the fuses and relays are there-----you have not looked hard enough----do you see a cover that has small screws in it----remove the screws/cover and voila---now you will need a relay diagram to find out which one is for the fanfare!!
Have you made sure that you have checked the horn connections are not corroded!!
