btm24 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 My horn stopped working today, and my buzzer before you start the truck sounds like its dieing. any thoughts on why this would be happening? Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89JeepMJ Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Check the fuses first of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1987Comanche Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Is your truck stick or auto? If stick then I'd bet on brake fluid eating your fuse panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

October_V Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Put a meter on the wire that connects to the plastic horn behind the bumper. If you don't get 12v it's electrical, if you do get the volts, it the horn. My horn had died and I still had the voltage, so I swapped it out with a dual trumpet air horn set up from O'Reillys and now my horn works for sure. My lights dim a little when I toot it but it's damn loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleag89 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Pull the steering wheel off and clean/sand all horn parts. Mine stopped working due to rusty contacts in the column, a light sand and it works great now. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Pull the steering wheel off and clean/sand all horn parts. Mine stopped working due to rusty contacts in the column, a light sand and it works great now. :thumbsup: :agree: It's caused by intermittent contact between the spring loaded grounding pin and the rotating plate under the horn button. Lightly sand both to shiny metal w. 0000 steel wool, then smear a thin coat of dielectric grease on all moving parts to prevent further corrosion.

steel Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 check that ground behind your left tail light. Also could be the multifunction switch (light knob assembly). Just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
