Horns
Your not going to believe this but the horns are located in each of the front part of the front wheel wells. To get to them are two ways:
1 You can take the front bumper off and you will then see them
2 You can take the lower air dam off and then there is a skirt panel located in each front wheel well. Once you remove this panel you will see the horn. This panel has one bolt that attaches to the lower air ham. One is on the passanger side and the other is on the drivers side. You will have to twist and bend your arm to do this step to remove them.
I do not know what they were thinking at the factory

When I had the front bumper, dam, nose, lights, etc off of mine (bad, bad case of while-I'm-at-it) I pulled the horns off for painting/checking & thought "Hey, that's a neat place to stick them, out of the way & dry". Once I started bolting it all back together I was thinking "Geez, those horns are buried up inside there. Hope they never pack up on me". Geuss what? One has stopped working 
Getting to them is a lot easier if you jack the front of the car up as high as possible.
Here's a pic (before the clean up!), though it's hard to make out where it actually is.

I removed my header bar to sand it down before reattaching. The horns had to be unbolted so that is how I found them; tucked up in the very corner and block from clear view. I had the body off at this time so I simply sat on the ground but still had a hard time twisting my wrist around to rebolt the horns. I can't imagine fooling with the horns from up top; try from below.Paul's pic shows the view from below, I believe, and with a lot of stuff missing. Getting the horn out is not as hard as reinstalling cause there are no nuts to fool with; the problem is doing everthing with one hand.

thanks for the pic!!...as soon as i saw it, i knew right where it was. I installed IT..one seems to be bad and horn still wouldnt work. after test each item, including the wiring one by one i found the issue. the upper contact assembly under the horn button was rusted enough to prevent contact, quick disassembly and a run thru the bead blaster its as good as new.
thanks again
