I am trying to find out how do you properly remove the old horn relay and install the new horn relay.

There are two horn relays both are under the hood, one on the right side inside the relay box and the other on the left side out on its own. Here are the horn system wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

You pull the relay straight up and out of the panel. There are no screws or bolts holding it in. Make sure the connectors are not melted.

Let's start by checking the fuses because the IPDM controls the horn operation, and it can be having a feedback issue. Please check fuse # 50 and #51 in the fuse panel in the right rear of the engine compartment and fuse #31 and 38 in the fuse link box.

Here is a guide to help and I have included the horn wiring diagram so you can see how the system works:

Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find.

Okay, can you upload a picture of the relay because they should just pull straight out. There are two of them so pull them both out.
