Fuse help please

08 Road Glide. Few weeks ago noticed my engine guard mounted aux lights not working which I thought strange as they appear to be wired into the aux switch and that is illuminated. Bike bought used with said light. Today I went to use the horn and it is not working so I reckon they must be working off of the same fuse?? Strange thing is I pulled every fuse in the panel and all are good. Can't think of anywhere else there are fuses except under the left side cover so my need to reach out. Also the horn is an aftermarket air horn which was on the bike when I got it. Any help???

My aftermarket air horn has another in line fuse in a wire that comes directly from the battery.

Just as with the horn, the lights probably have their own inline fuse. The Aux switch might just trigger the relay for the lights.

Frustrated after checking under the seat, not finding anything I took it to my Indy today. Inside of 20 minutes he had it all fixed, both separate issues. Horn was a frayed wire at the horn. Fog lights were due to a connector under the seat that was not seated completely, somehow mysteriously came loose in spite of a tab lock. We are good friends and he would have done it for free. I handed him a 20 and he gave me back 10. Life is good again. Now if my painter would finish my Road King last week life would be fine indeed...
