Default Horn in the motor bay?

Ive always wondered this but why do some SCs have horns in the engine bay lol im assuming its for the alarm but I always thought the alarm one was underneath the driver side fender?

Dude,



That's the horn connected to your steering wheel. There are two of them.

Alright so after tackling my no horn problem, I know the locations of the different horns/buzzers.
Driver side fender is the wireless key entry buzzer. horn near driver strut mount is the alarm. Low torn and high torn for honking are above and below radiator.

it turns out both my horns had no voltage (checked via multimeter) so I picked up a used yet online. And plugged them in and got my horn back.

Dude,

You say you, "unplugged the engine bay horn and my horns still work." That suggests you unplugged the single alarm horn. There are two horns in the front of the engine bay at the radiator that sound when you depress the steering wheel pad. One is a high-tone horn, the other is a low-tone horn. They may be obscured by a cover so you may only see one or none of them. They look like this...





There is a single alarm horn, actually a type of buzzer, located at the left front (driver-side in the U.S.) strut tower in the engine bay. It looks like this






Good luck
