hey my horn has been dodgy the last few weeks somedays it works and others it doesnt. Im thinking it mayb a loose connection at the horn itself and want to replace it anyway as it sounds shocking.
Just need to know whereabouts the horn is... I know that it is under/near the washerfliud tank and have removed that and have no idea how to access it. Any tips would be much appreciated

That's the location of the horn for TJ,
If its a TE, TF, it is located under the passenger side headlight

lol
I read this and had to laugh... after reading that someone had replaced their horn I got all excited and thought yeah what a great idea... so instead of just getting a replacement for the sissy sounding magna one I got me some air horns and low and behold that is where the drama started....
Turns out the air horns had a lose wire so they blew something up and so now after endless trial and error testing still can not find out what the issue is and have to take it to an auto elec so BE CAREFUL if you are playing with the wiring stuff otherwise just changing the horn bit itself is a peice of cake and I wish I had of just done that.... :)
Anyway best of luck with it once you find where it is the rest should be easy....
If you do need any help with any of the other stuff to do with the wiring etc let me know and I will help if I can as I have learned alot about it these past couple of weeks... :cry:
