Hey ya'll i got my latest xj a few days ago, and earlier today i went to honk at a moron in a camaro who flew around a corner going the wrong way around the McDonalds where i work, and its a one way "street" when i push the "horn" there is no resistance for about 1/3 of an inch and then it hits what i assume is the button or switch in the wheel itself. From what it seems to me it is like the button was pushed in but never came "un-pushed in" if that makes sense. how is this fixed? and a pic of my new xj! and my Suburban (that's for sale) wanted to be in the pic..

 

The relay is good as is the fuse, im hoping im not going to have to get a new airbag module to fix this....

 

theres a lil tiny piece of tube like metal on a spring. when the horn thing is pushed in, spring compresses, making the metal touch and the horn to sound.
atleast on mine. i took it apart, messed with it and popped it together again. turned the key and almost shat myself, horn went off and never went off. now i have it rigged to a button that says "trunk release", oh the fun ive had with that.

 

Try a little silicone spray to loosen it up. Do not use electrical contact cleaner, it will melt the surrounding plastic. Those are some pretty cool wheels.

EDIT: disregard, I was thinking cruise button...

 

so can you remove the "horn" that says jeep from the airbag?

 

Got a pic of this wheel? I wanna see it if you can.

 

its the standard 97+ with cruise


like this one

 

I believe that is a non servicable horn button.Horn and button is all one unit.

 

Is your airbag light on by chance? How do you know the relay is good?

 

I have the same problem. I said screw it and use my middle finger.

 

damn...

no its not, and i switched relays, tried it, switched it back, and tried a spare i have.

i have a couple of ooga horns that might get used
