Horn stopped working on 06

I left the sunroof open. BUT had my tsx coverd. It rained hard for 4 days here in MD. Neighbor called while I was out and said tsx horn was blowing. Hurried home, to find lots of water in carpet. Vacuumed the water out and smelled a burning smell. Discover horn was not working nor brake lights. Found blown fuse, and backup lights now work, but no horn

Is there a horn rely or fusible link somewhere in the car? If I take to Acura, what should I say to get repaired under warranty. Car has less than 3K on it. Thanks fellas.

Ps
Where are the horns located under the hood?

not to rain on your parade (sorry), but you're gonna have a hard time getting Acura to foot the bill if they can spot water damage.

And water damage is pretty tough to hide.

horns are behind the grill on the left and right edge (the two black thingies). good luck hiding the water damage.

Ouch, sorry to hear about this, but damn, leaving the sunroof open? If you can't figure it out, I'd just take it to the stealer you bought the car from and beg for forgiveness. Worth a shot anyway.

There was no real water damage. I vacuumed the water out of the carpet and ran a fan 2 days. The dealer replaced the horns. They think the aftermarket alarmed caused it. The reason I cracked the sunroof, is so heat can escape. I do not drive this car often and is parked with a cover on it. WE had lots of rain last week, more then the history of the dc metro area. Anyway I will now just crack the window and remove the horn fuse, when the car will be unused for long periods of time. The dealer said they would not repair it again under warranty.
