Things You'll Need

• Replacement horn for a 1998 Subaru Outback

Instructions

1. Open the hood of the 1998 Subaru Outback and locate the horn. It is just behind the grille -- it's a disc-shaped part secured by screws and has a power cable plugged into it.

2. Remove the screws holding the horn in place. Be careful not to lose the screws, as you will need them to install the new horn.

3. Detach the power cord from the horn and remove it from the Subaru.

4. Position the new horn in place of the old one. Screw it down tight using the screws that you removed earlier. Reconnect the power cord to the new horn. Honk your new horn to make sure it works.
