Where is the horn relay located in the Roewe i6?

The horn relay of the Roewe i6 is located inside the front wheel bumper, but in some models, the horn relay is installed in the grille. The working principle of the horn relay is that when the horn button is pressed, the current flows through the circuit to the electromagnetic coil of the horn relay. The electromagnetic coil attracts the moving contact switch of the relay to close, and the current then flows to the horn. The Roewe i6 is a model launched by SAIC Motor, with a body size of 4671mm in length, 1835mm in width, and 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2715mm. The Roewe i6 can reach a top speed of 220km/h, with a maximum engine power of 124kw and a maximum horsepower of 169ps.
I've been driving the Roewe i6 for three years, and the horn relay is located in the fuse box under the hood. Open the engine cover and find the black square box near the windshield. Lift the lid to see two rows of small components inside. On the driver's side of the box, the small square labeled 'HORN' is the relay. Last time my car horn had issues, I replaced this part by the roadside. Make sure to get the correct model—the OEM part is that blue 32V small square. Remember to disconnect the battery cable before working on it. My neighbor didn't cut power last time and ended up blowing the AC fuse, costing an extra 200 yuan for repairs.
Last time in the car enthusiast group, we discussed the horn issue with the Roewe i6, so I specifically consulted a mechanic. The relay is located in the fuse box at the front left of the engine compartment, that black plastic box next to the battery. After opening it, locate the horn's position as marked in the diagram, approximately the third slot from the left in the middle row. If you're handy, you can replace it yourself—it's a twenty-yuan job. I just replaced the relay last week, and now the horn sounds much louder. While at it, I checked the wiper relay in the fuse box and found it was also worn out, so I replaced that too.
