Parking brake repair (without 30 posts !)

I managed to fix something on the car without having to ask 20 - 30 questions!!! Got the parking park to engage/disengage. Pulled out drivers seat and removed brake assy. The rachet part had spun around backwards and wouldn't engage on the teeth. The pain was getting the push rod back in correctly to disengage the ratchet when the button is depressed. Got it all cleaned up and put a little axle grease on the moving parts (kinda worried about picking up grit there by the door though) replaced and all is working...

One more thing to fix to pass inspection, the horn. I've done several searches here and on the web and can't seem to come up with too much. Gonna check the relay,(is that a Porsche dealer item?) fuse looks OK. Buttons on steering wheel seem OK, I can hear what I think is a relay activating, not sure. Could just be the horn buttons themselves clicking.

But my big goofy question is,,,,,WHERE ARE THE HORNS? ? ?

Not having it up on ramps yet to get underneath or my Haynes manual (only have the shop manual on CD) I can't seem to be able to see much of whats what.

Any help appreciated,,, along with any chidding about not knowing this. For all I know the PO took them off, Like the washer reservoir!!!
