In this video we have a look at a 2008 Jeep Wrangler 4 Door that came in for state inspection and we soon discovered that the horn did not work. Seems simple enough right? -Enjoy!

    Chrysler needs to add a "Check and clean chassis grounds" to the service schedules for their vehicles.

    Thank you very much for this video. This was exactly my problem. I don’t know that I would have ever found thought to check that particular ground stud.

    I am having a problem with the horn not working on my 2012 Jeep Liberty. You covered this issue pretty well in this video but most of us don't have all of the fancy equipment. One of the first things I did which you didn't suggest in the video is to hit the lock button on your key fob. I did that on mine and the horn honked telling me immediately that I didn't have a blown fuse, bad relay, or bad ground. I haven't torn into the steering wheel yet to check the button or clock spring but I am guessing it is one of them.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ratchet the last Lombax says:

    this one I work on 2013 wrangler is the bad clock spring

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Robbins says:

    👍👍👍👍👍

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David summers says:

    I have that scan tool

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars WouterB76 says:

    In my car a fused wire runs to the horn, the other wire runs through the steering wheel to the button and then straight to a ground…, even horns are complicated these days it seems..

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Josh Fox says:

    Great video. Thanks!

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mack solorzano says:

    Thanks for that awesome information on the jeep 2008 horn not working help me out a lot

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian DApice says:

    Very helpful video.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Harrison says:

    Another cool video with an awesome new toy

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars spymaine89 says:

    DID YOU SHOW HORN?

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Harrison says:

    Another cool piece of kit for diagnosing those pesky dodges

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars THEDRAGONBOOSTER8 says:

    I didn't think you had to lite Jeeps.I thought they court elite them-selves..

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jesus Malacon says:

    this is the best color for a jk.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars AmericanPride1234 says:

    Should have played with the customer by pushing in the horn and asking them if they hear it. Lol

    6-6-20

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Judge Roy Bean says:

    Can always jam the push stick from the seat to the horn button if no one is around ….

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sharon Modzelewski says:

    Good afternoon. My daughter has a 2013 wrangler with no horn or high beams. I believe they share the same fuse. I couldnt get any power on either side of the fuse when the horn is pressed. And turning on high beams turns off all headlights. Any suggestions? Thanks. Love your videos.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bub Dawg's What do you think? says:

    HEY! Eric

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bub Dawg's What do you think? says:

    Today is 03 March 2020… now the Power Probe stays in the tool box !

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gerry Rig says:

    Just Use A Soldering Gun and 60/40 Solder and Solder The Wires Together…

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars xtreamdreamx says:

    I saw that tool I don't have, and I was out ! What happened to good ole fuse pulling and wire splicing !

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars h8tnlife says:

    Right tool for the right job👍🏻

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matt Man Productions says:

    And yet another great video from the spicy Italian 😂

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gman 76 says:

    Don't underesimate how long it takes to fix a simple horn – just taken me two attempts on a Focus. Replaced both high & low in the end – corrosion at the terminals at each each horn.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wayne Farnes says:

    thanks for the good tips. my 2007 k horn has stoped working. cheers!

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Oakley says:

    Great video! This fixed my horn! And my hyper-flash turn signal! Thanks!!!

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tmaxx chuck says:

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mikeske says:

    Yep fix a horn on a goose crap green Jeep.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars amishdude8595 says:

    Thanks a ton for this. This fixed my Dad's horn issue. Subbed!

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Funstruction Toys says:

    I have the same color Jeep and my horn isn't working. Hmm… I think it's a conspiracy. Thanks for a great video!

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Oscar Rodriguez says:

    This video is not very helpful because most DYS's do not have the diagnostic tools this person has. Waste of time.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Whitehead says:

    I think the car company's should go to all sS bolts and grounding parts.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! landlykke says:

    Please help my horn is not working when i read the wire to the horn with a multimeter it gets 3.7v even when the car is turned of and when i start the car and use the horn it gets 11.3v anyone have an ide ??

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David S says:

    Another great video Eric O.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars B Johnson says:

    2010 JKU horn suddenly stopped working one day. Fuses were good…watched your video and made the same repair and it worked immediately. Found lots of corrosion inside the coating. Thanks for the video.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Guy Boltrucyk says:

    "What's the matter with these guys?", they're garbage! Good idea. Got a set for the shop and after they went right left on me for a third time on a short wire, right in the garbage. Talking about the red handled universal wire strippers.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David B. Fishburn says:

    A little late here, but just found and watched this. I hate the TIPM idea. Permanately mounting relays into a circuit board is a bad idea, especially for those on high use circuits, like the cooling fans. I'm glad that Chrysler abandoned that concept. Eric, you may already know this by now, Chrysler has schematics/illustrations in the wiring diagram section that show where every connector, splice, and ground are located. Very useful for when you're looking for things and don't want to tear the vehicle apart to find them. It's saved me countless times.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scooter Tramp says:

    I realize that years ago we could honk the horn with a cheap mechanical switch and maybe a relay but you have to look at today's sophisticated vehicles with a philosophical eye. If you didn't have all of that myriad of electronic gear to assist you in honking the horn you wouldn't have a reason to buy all that shiny new testing equipment (toys) and your wife or girlfriend would look at you with that look that says, "Do you really need that? The kids need braces, the house is too small, I need new shoes, and the dog has a vet appointment…….." LOL

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars robert maberry says:

    Would running a separate ground for the horn achieve the same result?

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stuart Cookie says:

    I got those automatic wire strippers too…biggest hunk of crap made…some days they work and some days they dont! Just like my brother in law!

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joe Lund says:

    Wouldn't an air ratchet be faster

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill King says:

    My MGA has a line from the negative terminal through a button on the dash to the horn and to ground. Works flawlessly.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sdn40 says:

    Are we advancing if horns have to be integrated into a computerized system ?
    Edit: Per wiring diagram, obviously not

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars james dutton says:

    i was in the motor vehicle trade for over 51 years , when a horn would not work 9 times out of 10 a f/n good clout with a 2lb hammer fixed it, if it did not we would strip the horn down and repair it , LOL..

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A.M. Ray says:

    Horn doesn't work? Better fill up the horn fluid.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars michael king says:

    Your probably, gonna to have the same problem in your jeep. . lol…
