Duct Tape a sock in it.
Pull the wires off and tape them up.
If it has a factory security system put your key in the door and then unlock it
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 have a jeep Cherokee of that year and I believe that what you are refering to is a spherical thermometer and horn assembly.
Right behind the grill
Very carefully
the horn itself may be screwed on too tight. Remove the horn cover, usually by prying it off, and there will be three Phillips head screws. Loosen those screws a little and that should solve it.
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.

The reason why your horn honks when you back up is because someone hooked the horn to your back up lights. I think you can just find the wire that goes to the horn and pull the wire. it might also be a safety feature to your jeep. alot of new cars have this.
Its located behind the front bumber on the drivers side. Under the turn signal lamp.
