The horn relay on a 2012 Acura MDX is located in the under-hood fuse box. The relay is part of the Relay Control Module, which is built into the fuse box. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a specific diagram or picture showing the exact location of the horn relay within the fuse box. However, it should be labeled for easy identification.
Please note that it’s always a good idea to consult the owner’s manual or seek professional assistance for accurate and specific information regarding your vehicle’s components and their locations.
