Horn

Whenever I press the horn on my JK, it sticks. I'm pretty sure it's just a wiring problem that I can fix, but I don't want to deploy the airbag.
How do I do this without causing the airbag to deploy?

I have the same issue with mine too. I can't do a courtesy honk. If there is a fix, I like to know also.

Maybe try the stealership? It's a safety issue for your horn not to function properly, they should fix that no questions asked

Thanks. I think I'll try disconnecting the battery.

What year is your Jeep? The horn switch for the 2007-2010 steering wheel is separate from the airbag. The horn switch for the 2011-present horn is incorporated in the airbag. You have to do some mild dis-assembly of the unit, but I think that you can purchase the horn switch for the 2011-present apart from the airbag.

As someone stated earlier, you have to disconnect the negative cable of the battery and allow the system to discharge. Then you remove the airbag and replace your horn switch. BTW, removing the airbag for the 2007-2010 JK is a bitch; removing the airbag from the 2011-present JK is super easy.

I find it easier to use the finger rather than the horn, less wear and tear on the vehicle

I have a 2007 JK. Maybe I'll try repairing it this weekend. If not, I guess I can always bring it to the dealer.
