Five problems related to horn assembly have been reported for the 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The horn will not work consistently. The lights will flash on an off erratically while driving. The lights will come on after being turned off and parked overnight leaving the battery dead. The fan motor has failed for the defroster again. This is the second repair. In the snow belt this is a safety related feature.
Whenever horn is hit, it fails to blow or make any noise. Took vehicle to dealership & mechanic replaced the horn. Cuttently horn has shorted out & only makes faint noises, is very weak.
The air bag readiness indicator comes on when the vehicle is started. I took the vehicle into to dealer to have it investigated. They told me that it was the clockspring assembly. The indicator light will go off usually after driving for 30-45 minutes. I tested the cruise and horn when the indicator lamp is on. Both work whenever I checked.
When locking the car with the remote, horn is supposed to chirp indicating that the alarm is armed, however horn sticks until fuse is blown.
Horn did not work since purchased.
