Where's the horn relay? and also does anyone have a correct fusebox layout? The one I have is nowhere near accurate

The horn relay is a little white box between the dash speaker and the fuse box. Hope that makes sense? If you need a pic I can run out later and grab one for you.

Sorry man I guess it's right above the fuse box.

it's working again, discovered a water leak, that must be the problem..

now i'll have to pull the entire dash out..it's leaking behind the fusebox or a little above it.

Check the windshield seal and the door seal, that is the only place that there is a hole in the cab shell that would let water in.

Just my .02

it's the caulking strip in the wiper area, i have a leak on both sides, the windshield and all weatherstripping is good, all that is new. It's running down the sides of the kick panels and soaks the carpet in the lowest spot

There's some minor rust there also, damnit I had it all sprayed and now there's rust... I didn't have a leak when I rebuilt the damned thing 2 years ago. The insulation stuff is all wet, that's what caused the rust...had to rip it out, I removed it partly already. The moisture made the back brittle...that stuff is an excellent sponge
