self tooting horn
Could someone please help me with my horn. I have a used vehicle and the previous owners had installed a button below the steering wheel so that they could honk the horn whenever they needed to. The problem is that whenever I make a sharp turn, the horn would go off on it's own. I don't how to get into thesteering column with an airbag installed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: self tooting horn
How did they wire the other button in? What year is your Jeep?
There is a horn relay under the dash, taped to the harness. You could bypass the wiring in the column if the po didn;t do it already. |

Re: self tooting horn
Is the used vehicle a 1984 through 2000 Jeep Cherokee? Not the Grand Cherokee, but the Cherokee? If it is you can purchase a Haynes repair manual number 50010 that explains how to get to all the steering electrical systems that may be causing the problem. Or it's most likely a problem with that retro fit switch or the wiring. I had a buddy back in the seventies out in Blythe who had a '61 GMC truck that honked its horn everytime we made a right turn. It was a lot of fun when there were some cute girls at the corner because he was a shy Baptist minister's son and the girls thought he was being fresh. I begged him not to fix it but he did by pulling the steering wheel and fixing the frayed wire. It's something simple like that on yours too most likely.
