| The vehicle was purchased on 3/6/98. i began experiencing electrical failure on 3/14/98. the vehicle was returned for non-operative horn and electrical shock on 3/20/98 to benke chrysler-plymouth jeep eagle. the technician worked on the vehicle for 1 1/2 hours but was unable to find the problem. i was advised to bring the vehicle back or take it to another service center closer to me. i took the vehicle to nolf chrysler dodge inc. on 3/30/98. the technician advised both horns to be faulty with internal shorts. the horns were ordered and replaced a week later. i continued to have severe shocks which i was advised by jeep dealers were static discharge. on december 15th i was awoke by the constant sound of the horn blowing on my vehicle. the police arrived a short time later. i disconnected the battery to stop the horn from blowing and then contacted benke chrysler-plymouth jeep. i was advised to disconnect the horn relay. the vehicle was then driven to gibsonia (without a horn, once again). the technician worked on the vehicle for 2 hours and i was advised the horn relay was defective. i was awaken again at 11pm by the sound of horn going off at my home and once again the police arrived. there seems to be no known cause to date for this defect. the horn blows for no apparent reason while setting idle and does not shut off till horn relay is pulled or battery is disconnected. | |||
