Honestly its proably just your relay. Its up under your dash where your knees would be. Mine was doing that same thing and replaced it and it works again. Was like $8-$10 at auto parts store.

if u get your jeep muddy or go through water up to the bumpers the horns are probably shot like mine, so i picked up a truck horn at the junkyard and mounted on my roof behind my roof racks windshield to protect it

Take a test light to the the horn and check it prolly took a crap.... If u r hearing a clicking that means ur relay is working properly and the horn itself is inop..... if u can change a tire u can replace a little horn.....

all i did was rip the wiring apart and run the red power down to the old horns, pulled the connector off horn and wrapped the red wire around the connector on horn and put the horn wires from steering wheel back on and grounded the new horn and it works with the steering wheel button and its loud
