Where's my HORN???

Aug 19, 2006 30 Replies

OK, I have scoured my XJ (1992 Cherokee Laredo 4 door) and cannot locate the horn. NO, not the horn button on the steering wheel, the HORN - you know, the thing that makes the HOOOOOONK sound???



The few books available on this Jeep do not tell you the physical location.



If you know where it SHOULD be, please reply via email.

Why don't you have someone blow it while you stand there with the hood open?

just watch the proximity of

1) the back of your head 2) the hood latch

:)

IIRC they are behind the front grill to the side of the radiator. Sometimes under, crawl under, look up behind the bumper by where the battery is.

I'm guessing that it doesn't make a sound, that's why he wants to find it.

It SHOULD be in the front, in the area of the head lamps.

I think with some folks they should mount it in the drivers headrest. :)

OBTW... Putting email in a Usenet post is an excellent way of getting lots of spam. :( And I doubt V1agr@ will help him find his horn. (unless he's Brittish) :D

Bill, Except for me, you are one of the more prolific idiots on Usenet.

I assume you know what prolific means. I could 'splain it to you, but that would make you more of an idiot than I am.

If we're going _there_, let me just say that I think that all car alarms should come with shock collars. Failure of the owner to not wear the collar would be a felony.

AGH!!!!!!!!

If you get HORNey enough, it'll jump right out at you!

On the newer XJs it is behind the bumper near the radiator frame brace.

You have to remove the splash shield to access it.

sounds like a man with some experience removing 'splash shields'

heh heh heh

Yeah, I think I'd stand back a bit until I knew what to expect!

City people come up here into the mountains and set the alarm while paying for gas at a pump-first station.

You folks trying to engage them in a banjo duel or some such?

You all are killing me - this group is GREAT!

To cover all the bases; Nope, the horn don't honk, thus the search... Rabbits + prolific = more targets ;-) Love the shock collar idea for alarms - 80% of my neighbors would get zapped every time a Harley comes by - STOOPID people set the sensitivity too high... One person sent me the manual pages from his XJ that describes the horn, troubleshooting, etc. - THANK YOU!!! I have not located it yet - been busy with another project

- but, the horns work!!!

Thanks to all!!! As soon as I find the horn, I will give you a little honk...

nah....... that's women's work....

No, my Banjo is in pieces waiting for reassembly. Treat visiting city folk as if they have personal integrity and it throws them off, like they think it's a trap of some kind.
