My first reccomendation is to find a good service manual for your Jeep (check the major auto parts suppliers or online) and make sure you are comfortable with repairing your own vehicle.
Next, check the front grille area for your horn (be careful to not burn or cut yourself! in fact, do all this while the engine is cool if possible!) (it will proably look like a big snail shell or something similar). There is usually 1 wire going to the horn, so make sure that wire is connected securely to the horn (it might not hurt to remove the connector and put it back on securely!)
If that doesn't help, then the switch might be bad. If this is the case, you will need to take the cover off your steering wheel and check for continuity across the switch. If the switch has continuity when closed, then the horn itself may be At Fault (I believe this is rare...unless the vehicle has front-end damage) and need replacement. If the switch doesn't have continuity when closed, then it needs replacement (another trip to the auto parts store or Jeep dealership).
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE AN AIRBAG, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE THE COVER OFF YOUR STEERING WHEEL! TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR WORK INSTEAD! AIRBAGS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!
If all else fails, take it to a Jeep dealership and let them mess with it; there is a bunch of wiring in the steering column along with the horn's wiring. Trying to sort it out even with a schematic can be daunting.
Peace be with you all!
Under the hood there is a 5 in. Long bl. Box to the left facing the jeep. There are fuses in it, the horn fuse is in there....good luck..
I JUST had and fixed the same problem on my 2000 Jeep Cherokee. The fuse is blown, in the fuse box on the passenger side. I believe it is the 15 amp fuse #20 or #21. good luck!

My guess would be the horn or horn relay or connections between the them is at fault. The click you hear would be the horn relay trying to work, that tells me the fuse and horn button is in working order. Unplug the wire at the horn and attach a test light to the wire. Operate the horn button and see if the light lights or not. If the light lights up the horn is at fault. If the light doesn't light up and you still hear the click I would replace the horn relay.
If the fuses are good on a 1996 Jeep Cherokee and the horn still will not work, check the horn relay switch on the passenger side fender wall inside the engine compartment. Also check to make sure that the horn is hooked up properly.
On a jeep that new i would check the fuse panel and repace the fuse for the horn. The horn shouldn't be defective but if the fuse doesn't solve the problem, have dealer replace horn under warranty.
I have a jeep Cherokee of that year and I believe that what you are refering to is a spherical thermometer and horn assembly.
The relay is supposed to be attached to the fuse panel harness close to the fuse panel. The fuse is also the headlamp fuse, fuse number 11. It's labeld "HOLD/DLY" and is a 25 amp fuse.
Right behind the grill
hey i have a 1992 Cherokee the relay is on the right side of the steering wheel behind the lower panel there are three relays there its the middle one i think
I cant find one but if the horn is just making a clicking sound then it's the relay and that is in the glove box just take out the little panel where the rope is attached and its in there.
Have to go into body computer with DRB3 to disable horn honk when locking vehicle.
Very carefully
Maybe the horn has a fuse all to itself. Look in the fuse box and see if there is one labeled horn. If there is, then remove it. If the horn is sounding off, then you should be able to pop the hood and locate it. It's usually near the firewall (area over the front tires).
