Question
how do i find my horn for a 1997 kia?

Answer
Jack,
  I'm not sure if you are trying to find the horn on your car or a replacement horn.
  Any parts store should have a Universal Horn for your car. It may not sound exactly as yours but would do the job.
  If you are looking for the horn on your car, open the hood, stick your head down by the radiator and have someone honk the horn. Follow the noise. IF your horn doesn't work, check the fuse first. If the fuse is good, look in your owner's manual and see if it shows the location of the relay. Have someone push the horn button to see if the relay "clicks". If it does, try to follow the wiring forward towards the front of the car to find the horn. When you find it, get some jumper wires and run them from the battery directly to the horn to see if it honks. If it does, the problem is in the wiring. If it doesn't, replace the horn.
  I know this answer is a bit complicated but I can't tell, from your question if you need a horn or you need to find the horn on your car. I hope this helps but please remember I'm a Parts Specialist, NOT a Tech.
  Thank you for your question and good luck.

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
