Default '09 Honda Pilot horn wont stop blaring.

The horn in my pilot started going off. It's a constant blaring noise, not like the alarm. It's like someone is holding the horn down.
I have replaced both horns, the fuse, and what I believe is the horn relay. It's possible that I replaced the wrong relay. I can't find a diagram that labels the proper horn relay anywhere. Not on Google or the 2000 page Honda Service Manual.
Can someone please tell me where the horn relay is, before I rip the steering wheel apart and replace the horn pad and clock spring?
If it's not a relay, what else could it be?

You need to navigate the manual to where the info is. I'd start with the horn.

BTW the relay is internal to the MICU

Thanks. So if the fuse is good and my MICU is good, I need to test the horn switch in the hatch on the steering column. I'm pretty sure its either the horn pad or the horn spring. Looks like I'm ripping apart my steering wheel.
