I pulled out a fuse to check it out, and ended up losing it. It's from the fuse box under the hood, labeled B/A HORN. It was blue and looked exactly the same as the other large blue ones that are marked DC12V 20A. Is it safe to say I just need another of that same votage, and where can I purchase one quickly? (Also wondering if it's still ok to drive the car without it until I can get a replacement). Thank you

The correct fuse type for the 2012 Hyundai Tucson labeled B/A HORN is a 15A fuse, located in the E/R Fuse & Relay Box.
To quickly purchase a replacement, visit an automotive parts store or a Hyundai dealership. Ensure you get a 15A fuse of the same type as specified in the manual.
It is safe to drive the car without this fuse, but the horn will not function, which can be a safety concern in traffic situations where you need to alert other drivers. It is recommended to replace the fuse as soon as possible.

Do you have a question about the tucson 2012 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
I pulled out a fuse to check it out, and ended up losing it. It's from the fuse box under the hood, labeled B/A HORN. It was blue and looked exactly the same as the other large blue ones that are marked DC12V 20A. Is it safe to say I just need another of that same votage, and where can I purchase one quickly? (Also wondering if it's still ok to drive the car without it until I can get a replacement). Thank you
The correct fuse type for the 2012 Hyundai Tucson labeled B/A HORN is a 15A fuse, located in the E/R Fuse & Relay Box.
To quickly purchase a replacement, visit an automotive parts store or a Hyundai dealership. Ensure you get a 15A fuse of the same type as specified in the manual.
It is safe to drive the car without this fuse, but the horn will not function, which can be a safety concern in traffic situations where you need to alert other drivers. It is recommended to replace the fuse as soon as possible.
