I quit using mine because I can yell louder than it will honk.

I hope you don't have to wait too long at the dealer.

Default no horn

I think it was my second water crossing that filled my horn with water & mud. A ten dollar replacement from Advance Auto Parts bolted into place. I put the new horn in with the opening on the side. I hope this helps it drain. I need to fashion some type of splash guard.

Default warranty work

I just got my JK back from the dealership today. I had the brake recall done and tried to get the double start fixed(couldnt get it to happen). And the horn fixed. They had to order a "Horn Pad" and it was on backorder. So, there must me several bad ones out there. I have been so depressed from having to take it in, but at least I get to drive it until part comes in. They didn't say a word about my light mods and other mods, which I am very thankful for. Thought I'd let yall know.

I played in the mud on Friday and afterwards the horn was quiet. I went again on Saturday and now the horn is barely audible. I hope the dealer will replace it. 6,000 miles and I am out of warranty.

Default horn update

The horn pad came in finally, but it didn't fix the horn. Since it has been on order, my cruise control stopped working and the airbag light comes on. The dealer hasnt figured it out yet. I also have them checking into my engine leak. I hope I get my Jeep back soon.
