Default Where is horn grounded?

Hello, this is my first post, so be gentle

I have 1991 (4th gen) Honda Civic 4 dr saloon. RH drive (UK).
Does anyone know where the car horn is grounded please?
Or where I could find it out on the web?
Is it right behind the front hood opening latch?

Thank you.

It should be grounded very close to the horn. In front of the radiator

The 90 Civic circuit diagram suggests that the horn is grounded near the switch in the steering wheel.

Thank you both!
My car should be the same as 1990 Civic, so I think Ron must be right.
Do you know the whereaboutsof the switch?
Thanks

Do you know the whereabouts of the switch?
The switch is the button you push in the steering wheel to activate the horn. The switch likely grounds the horn circuit through the steering column.
