How to Replace a Horn in a Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a mid-size Sport Utility Vehicle in production since 1993. Many Jeep Grand Cherokee enthusiasts are dissatisfied with the sound of the original equipment manufacturer's horn and choose to replace it. You can do this relatively quickly using only a few tools.

Instructions

1

Buy a horn kit. Direct replacement kits for the Jeep Grand Cherokee models will have only one horn, but many aftermarket kits consist of two horns.

2

Locate the original manufacturer's horn. The horn for the Jeep Grand Cherokee is mounted under the right turn signal behind the front bumper. The easiest way to access it is from underneath the front of your SUV.

3

Disconnect the power connector from the horn, unscrew the mounting bolts with a socket wrench and remove the original horn. If you are installing a factory replacement, you can simply attach the old wiring harness to the new horn and mount it in the original location. However, if you are installing two horns, you will need to find a sturdy location with minimal vibrations.

4

Splice the original pair of wires to the two horns according to the instructions for the new horns. The kit should include the connectors that you will need. Generally, you will splice a Y connection to each original wire to produce two pairs of wires that are connected to a new wiring harness. You will then connect each harness to one of the new horns.

5

Test the new horns to ensure they work.
