Seven problems related to horn assembly have been reported for the 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Clockspring failed causing horn to not operate, abs and traction control to not operate. Other issues that are non safety related to this is cruise control, radio controls (steering wheel) and the dash data (the menu to scroll through from the dash for dte, us/metric etc). All these are effected while vehicle is both in motion and stationary.
After turning off the vehicle and parking in a garage for 10 minutes the tipm started smoking, wipers and lights went on and horn started blowing and caught fire. This occured approximately 5 pm.
Clockspring recall: other year models of the same generation Wrangler show a clockspring recall, but my year model doesn�t. My clockspring has failed now and I lost most of the steering wheel controls, including my safety horn, and if my research is correct, my driver side air bag will not deploy now if in a collision accident. When turning my windshield wipers would turn on randomly, and then when driving shortly afterwards I went to honk at animals in the road and the horn did not work. The next day I noticed that the radio and driver information center controls on the steering wheel did not work either.
Horn does not work and steering column controls are not functioning. Unsure if airbag works.
Steering wheel controls stopped working which also included the ability to use the horn. The air bag light also came on making the air bag system non operating. Is not a fuse issue. Something is faulty within the steering system and clock spring. Was driving down the road and the air bag light came on without any form of collision taking place. Tried using horn to see if it worked and no sound. Tried using radio controls none work. Tried using cruise control nothing worked. I have turned the Jeep steering wheel every way and nothing works. Turned it off and on still nothing working. Disconnected battery and then connected it back up. Still not working. Checked all fuses by dealer no issues. Factory equipment no modifications made still not working. Unsafe environment made by this malfunction within Jeep Wrangler.
60411 miles. When doors are opened, unlocked with key fob, or the hood or back hatch is opened, the horn will sound continuously for 30 seconds. However, horn is non-operational when depressing horn button. Vehicle was stationary when this first occurred. Vehicle has not been wet inside since I have owned it (1 year and 40000 miles).
A continuous issue with a delay or complete non operation of the horn when horn button is "tapped". The problem is easily reproduced, but two dealerships state the horn is working as designed. The horn always operates when the horn button is depressed for more than 1/2 second. Less than 1/2 second and intermittent operation results. Occurs in all operating conditions, including engine off. Difficult to warn pedestrians in a timely manner at times when inoperable.
