Q: Horn and alarm wires crossed 97 jeep grand cherokee

asked by on November 15, 2017

Whenever I press the horn inside the truck it makes a horn sound but it also makes a car alarm sound. This happens every time I press the horn. I think wires are crossed I just want to remove the alarm all together, want to know where to look to find the wires.
