TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS................. 3XJ ..................................... 1
YJ ..................................... 2
GENERAL INFORMATION
For XJ/YJ vehicles battery voltage is applied to the
horn relay through a fuse.
When the horn switch is depressed, the horn relay
is grounded, pulling the contact closed and providing
battery voltage to the horns.
A slip ring and brush arrangement in the steering
wheel allows the switch circuit to maintain contact
while allowing rotation of the steering wheel.On XJ models, a cadmium-plated ground
screw is used to attach the horn(s) to the body.
Do not substitute other types of ground screws
as they may become corroded and cause a loss
of ground.
XJ
REPLACEMENT
(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Remove the splash shield.
(3) Remove horn mounting bolt and horn mounted
on the drivers side (Fig. 1).
(4) Remove wire from horn.
(5) To install horn, reverse the removal proce-
dures.
DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR
Refer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for a com-
plete circuit diagram.
HORN RELAY
²Inspect 25 amp, #11 fuse. Replace fuse as re-
quired.
²Depress horn switch. The relay contacts should
click. If OK, go to HORNS. If not, go to next step.
²Remove the horn relay located in the relay center.
The relay center is on the lower instrument panel
trim cover just right of the steering column (Fig. 2).
There should be 12 volts at relay connector pins 1
and 2. If not, repair open in circuit to relay.
²Depress horn switch. Measure resistance between
relay connector pin 5 and ground. The meter should
read zero ohms. If not, repair open to horn switch
ground.
²Measure resistance between relay connector pin 4
and ground. The meter should read almost zero ohms
(horn resistance) If OK, replace relay. If not, repair
open in circuit between relay and horns.

TURN SIGNALSÐXJ
Refer to Section 8W - Wiring Diagrams for cir-
cuit wiring diagram.
DESCRIPTION
With the turn signal lever in its up or down posi-
tion and the ignition switch in ACCESSORY or ON,
current flows through the:
²turn/hazard switch
²selected turn indicator bulb
²front and rear turn signal bulbs
²and the front side marker bulb.
With the headlamps OFF, the turn and front side
marker lamps flash in unison.With the headlamps
ON, the turn and front side marker lamps flash al-
ternately.
DIAGNOSISÐTURN SIGNAL INOPERATIVE
(1) A turn signal indicator that does not flash usu-
ally indicates a burned out turn signal bulb. Check
for and replace if defective. System should now func-
tion properly. If not, go to next step.
High generator output voltage can burn out
lamps rapidly.(2) Remove and inspect 20 amp #8 fuse. Replace if
necessary. If OK, go to next step.
(3) Remove turn flasher, light blue can, located in
upper left corner of fuse block.
(4) Turn ignition switch to ACCESSORY. Check
for battery voltage at flasher bottom cavity on fuse
block. If OK, go to next step. If not, repair open cir-
cuit in wiring between turn flasher and #8 fuse.
(5) Turn ignition switch to ACCESSORY. Move
turn signal lever up or down. Replace turn flasher
with known good flasher. The lamps should flash. If
not, replace original flasher and go to next step.
(6) Turn ignition switch to OFF. Follow procedure
for turn/hazard switch replacement to locate steering
column connector. Unplug connector.
(7) Turn ignition switch to ACCESSORY. Check
for battery voltage at connector terminal L. If OK,
replace turn/hazard switch and check that lamps
flash. If not, repair open circuit in wiring between
turn flasher and steering column connector terminal
L.
HAZARD LAMPSÐXJ
