Default Fuses r13 and r6/horn

My horn in my 01 disco se7 is currently not work so i was trying to check the fuses to see if they were blown. I was checking under the hood and looking at the diagram that was attached to the cover of the fuse box. There was 2 place were horn was label a bigger fuse and a littler fuse(sorry i do not know but about cars). Well the big fuse was missing and it was labeled r13. I looked in the owner manuals i could find online but could not find what type of fuse this is. If you guys could help me by telling me what it is so i can replace it it would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully this will fix the horn problem.

Also a fuse that on the diagram looks kinda of like a check engine light with a lightning bolt going through it is missing. I was wondering if you guys could possible tell me what this is. The number on the diagram was r6.


Sorry to keep going on but i have had a few problems with this and i was just wondering if i wasted my money on something i thought was nice. I have the 3 amigos, the horn is not working, the cruise is not work, on the way home from work the other day i started to lose power as in i was driving 70 miles on the freeway and then it dropped me down to 35 and would not go over it. Sometimes when i turn it on the electric items in the disco mess up such as the air does not come on and when i put it in drive the little red light stays in the park position. thats all the major problems wrong with it. I paid 6500 for it did i waste my money?


(sorry for spelling and grammar errors)

Yes you got ripped off.
Sounds like you need a new battery for starters and maybe a alternator too.
The under hood fuse box is not the one you need to be messing with, you want the one under the dash, drivers side, by your knees.
There are 2 thumb screws, give them a half turn with a coin and the panel will drop down.
There will be a diagram on the panel cover, it will also show the fuse size, i.e. 10A, 15A, 5A, etc.
10A means 10 amp fuse, it uses blade fuses, 5A means 5 amp, and so on and so forth.
Not every empty fuse spot will need a fuse, these trucks were sold all over the world and some things were omitted for the US.
It is very common for the horn pad buttons to go bad, there are springs inside them that break and then the horn will not work.
Also the key must be on for the horn to work, its a weird LR thing.
You can buy the fuses anywhere, Wal-Mart, AutoZone, etc.

Did you buy this from a private seller?
Do any of the warning lights come on when you turn the key to the "II" position?

When you turn the key "on" but do NOT start the engine you should get the service engine soon light, oil light, battery light, etc.

Also i took the a look at the fuses inside the car but the diagram does not show one for the horn. Neither does the Manual im looking at. Could you please tell me which one is the correct fuse.
