Horn wont work, where is the fuse located - 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee

  • Anonymous Dec 18, 2011

    I have a computer that is over ten years old and the hard drive still works. Can you tell me why my much newer laptop has had two drives fail and the motherboard replaced after two years (newer technology)? I've replaced two or three fuses in my 89 Camaro in the 15 years I've had it. It has no electrical problems. Take a chill pill buddy. Try and be civil.

Hi Ben,

The horn fuse is Fuse #13 (20 Amp) in the fuse block located in the right end of the dash. (See pictures)

    P.S. Just thought I'd mention that there is NO WAY that the fuse is the CAUSE of your horn to not work. Blown fuses do not cause electrical problems - electrical problems cause blown fuses. If the fuse is blown, you need to find out why because replacing it without repairing the problem with your horn circuit will only result in another blown fuse.

    That is good advice. However, fuses do go after a while on their own. They have a limited life. I wouldn't be surprised if on a 1994 vehicle fuses start going on their own. If you replace it and it goes again, then you have a problem for sure.

    OK dude...I own a 1963 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport. ALL of the fuses in the thing are ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. What is the shelf life on these fuses? If a 48 year old fuse has not "blown on its own", then tell me WHY a fuse made in 1994 (only 17 years old) would simply blow on its own? Wouldn't it make sense that the 17 year old fuse would be better? It is NEWER and is made with LATER TECHNOLOGY! Yes, Owner's manuals say things like "repeated failures" in them. I still maintain that in my nearly 37 years of automotive repair experience, I have NEVER seen a fuse just up and blow for no reason. I seriously doubt if you ever have and I sure do not know anybody that has. I suppose it is possible for a fuse that was defective to BEGIN with to blow on its own if it was manufactured incorrectly and could not handle the current that it was designed to handle. However, I think this has about a 1 chance in several MILLION of happening. This STILL would have nothing to do with the AGE of the fuse since it was defective at birth! The only other reason a fuse would blow on its own whithout there being a defective circuit (or defective fuse) is if the fuse that was used was the wrong fuse for the circuit it was being used in. (i.e. using a 10 amp fuse in a circuit that has a NORMAL draw of 15 amps.) However, most fuses are much higher rated than the anticipated current draw on the circuits they protect. Anybody that knows anything about electrical theory knows this!
    You should really educate yourself before pushing an issue that you apparently know little about!

There is a fuse specifically marked Horn in the fuse box. There could be fuses in up to three places, but likely the horn one is in the box under the hood on the passenger side. There could be another fuse panel on the driver's side of the dashboard - you may need to open the door to see it - and another near the floor on the passenger side (under the dash).

    WHAT??? Fuses DO NOT just go on their own. I have been in the auto repair business for going on 37 years now and I have NEVER seen a fuse that has a "shelf life". If they blow there is ALWAYS a reason for it. The ONLY thing that causes fuses to blow is a current draw that exceeds the amperage rating of the fuse! They DO NOT just burn out like light bulbs!

    Everything has a shelf life. EVERYTHING. Fuses do blow. It doesn't always mean there is an electrical problem. If you look it up, you'll find that everything says that if you have REPEATED fuse failures, then you have a problem. Not just because of one.

    You are going to compare a hard drive to a fuse? Figures! I'll just consider the source.

SOURCE: Horn wont work

If you are facing the front of the jeep. It is on your left, on the fender well. Yes, you do have a fuse under the dash. The fuse panel should be marked on what fuse is it.

Ignition was not working the key wont go in,after it was fixed the horn wont work what could be the problem?

horn fuse is blown, locate fuse box, sometimes there are 2 , one in car and 1 under hood, engine compartment.
use your cars manual to see horn fuse and replace with same fuse.
If the fuse is burned out, replace it. Try the horn again. Check your car owner's manual for the location and type of fuse. Check whether there is any debris obstructing the horn button on your steering wheel that may be preventing the horn from sounding

How do i find fuse for horn

There is a relay for the horn, too. You can simply unplug that.

You didn't define your vehicle. Check the owner's manual for fuse locations.

Horn relays are found under the hood in a fuse/relay enclosure. The horn switch on the steering wheel is part of a low-current circuit that activates the horn relay. That circuit's fuse will be located in the interior fuse panel, wherever that is hiding!

Where is horn located on 2003chevy caviler wont work changed fuse not help

The horn is usually located in front of the radiator/condenser. I would test it by applying 12volts, if it works you know it is the horn relay or the horn button itself.

Replaced horn and now it wont work. Where is the fuse for the horn on a 2000 Merc Mountaineer

The fuse for the horn would be in the power distribution box located under the hood in the engine compartment (see picture below). Also below is a diagram of the fuse layout. The fuse you want to check will be the fuse in the number 10 position and should be a 15 amp fuse. There is a horn relay as well and the is the relay in that same box in the number 7 position. I hope this helps and good luck.

Horn wont stop cant locate fuse

The fuse block is located below the dash and mounted to the fire wall. This area is where the brake pedel is located. If you still can't locate the fuse, open the hood and the horn is located behind the grill. Remove the wire from the horn. To fix the problem correctly it's possible that the horn relay is stuck closed which is why the horn blows. A wiring diagram will show the location of the relay. Most relays snap into the holder.
