I have looked and looked, researched for hours. WHERE ARE MY HORNS LOCATED???

I don't have a repair manual, but even looked at them online. I believe the horn on the driver;s side is located near my front driver side tire under the plastic cover.

I removed the cover and I can see the fog light. I also see this black cylinder looking think that has a plug connected to it. It looks nothing like any horn I have seen online. I am so confused. Please help me.

that black cylinder looking thing with the plug connecting to it is the horn

Im going to upload a photo of it. It just doesn't look anything like any horn I have seen. I have read everywhere that the chasis grounds it, but the plug has a hot and a ground wire. I just want to be sure. I know I sound like an idiot, but I just cannot find any videos or instructions on this. I am ready to replace the horn, but which one is on the left side, the high or the low.

Ok, so what I removed def isn't the horn. Thank you for helping me. Do I need to remove my tire? Has anyone done this before? I will post the thing I removed. I'm such an idiot. I can work on 60 million dollar aircraft for 18 years, but I can't replace my own horn. Wow

Def not the horn

Happens to the best of us. Not sure what you removed, but you might want to put it back.

OP you should be able to just work through wheel well, removing tire might just make it more convenient

I just noticed you posted pictures of what you removed. You removed this from the wheel well on the driver side behind the front axle (closer to the door than the front of the car), yes?

That looks like the keyless buzzer. When all doors are closed and you lock your car with the fob and press the lock button again (2 times in quick succession) you'll hear a beep. With this removed, you won't.

I pulled the keyless buzzer. Now I'm going to search for the unicorn, I mean horn. Where is it? Does it even exist?

The picture is not accurate!!! The horn on the passenger side is right behind the fog light and not next to the blinker like the above photo shows.

Should I assume you've found it, this time?

It's possible the location is slightly different, since the screenshots come from a 2004 Acura TL manual. A strange thing to move, but I imagine there was a good reason according to Acura.

Found them both!!!!!! They are on the passenger side right behind the fog light. Disconnected one of them and didn't hear a difference. Will troubleshoot some more tmr. I'm going driving for Uber now. Thanks for the help.

From my experience from installing fogs, 2004 TLs have it on each side, whereas 05 and up have both located right by the washer reservoir on passenger side.

That would have been nice to know before I tore my car apart. I was beyond frustrated. Now I just need to order a new one. I'm going to remove it and try to fix it. These things are expensive.
