well i posted a thread on help for the horn, found out the horn works perfect once i connected cables from the battery to the horn post, soooo...... now wat, lol i used a light test to test the wire and looks like it has no current. can it be a bad connector or is the whole wire burnt. does that mean i gotta re wire a new one that goes all the way into the steering column?

the wire at the steering wheel provides a ground for the horn. You hit the horn button and it sends a ground signal to the horn relay, which in turn sends a poss. signal to the horn. check the relay by switching it with another

how would i do that, open the steering wheel?

your horn relay is (i beleive on yours) in fuse box to left of your clutch pdl. Check with Blue xj---- he has the info on renix era jeeps. your wire at the top of your col. is unlikely to be the problem, although not impossable. If you have a tilt col. than the area that moves could have flexed the wires enough to cause a prob. You know that your horn works when given 12 volts, so work backwards from there checking for any problems. Also check the multi pin conn. on top of the steering col. it may be loose. It is the conn. between the steering col. and the wire harness to the body--Contains wiring for horn,turn sig. emg. flashers etc. You can also check the condition of the contacts under the steering wheel, given the age of your jeep they could be worn out, or just dirty. Easy fix!!
