It's on the firewall, just under the passenger side wiper. It'll have two pigtails plugging into it.

On my 71', it's on the left inner fender well (has the key buzzer in it too), on the 78' it's under the dash right above the fuse panel. It seems like GM liked to move it around. Could be almost anywhere!

Actually you're right, it did move around a lot so I hope I'm not confusing the location with a slightly later year.

On my '70, it's back on the passenger side frame near the gas tank.

It's on the driver side inner fender just above the wheel well and slightly forward of the windshield washer fluid resevoir.

Mine is there, too ('69). My key buzzer used to work and now it doesn't. Do you know which wires to check?

On original 1974 Corvette models, the horn relay plugs in just above the fuse box. If it's elsewhere, it's been changed since it rolled off the assembly line.
