Hey friends, it's Len here at 1A Auto. Today we're working on a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, and we're going to be replacing the horn assembly. It's going to be a very easy job, and I want to be the guy that shows you how to do it. If you need any parts, you can always check us out at 1aauto.com. Thanks.
We're going to go ahead and take off the grill. There's a couple of push clips. We've got one here, one located on this side, and then there's some located down in the bottom area there. Okay, so see if I can get my hand down right here. So, all I'm going to do is I'm going to try to lift up the center area. There we are, grab it, lift it up out of there. That's what it looks like. When you go to lock it, you just press this in, and it pushes these tabs out. Okay, set that aside. Might as well start on one end here. There we are, the same as the first. I'm just going to come along there's one in the center. There's a little clip right here. This one to get the grill off of here we're just going to slide it, but we won't worry about that yet. Come over here and lift that up. Got the clip. Here we are. Cool, okay, 10-millimeter, 10-millimeter. That's what it looks like, a little rusted. I'm not worried about it.
Another one, the same as the first. So now we've got a little clip right here, and what you do for these, there's a little tab on the left side, you push that. Okay, and then push that. There we are. You come along this way, you do the same thing for this one. Give that a little push. Okay, you're going to get a little hooky-do, hooky tool, right down there there's a little white clip, little white clip, and then all the way over there, there's another little white clip, so I'm just going to go ahead and stick it in here, push that out. See if I can get this one. I'll show you what these clips look like. That's what they look like right there. Nothing too special about them. I mean, they're very special. Don't want to offend any clips out there. There we are. Now we've removed our grill assembly.
Okay, friends, we have a clear view of our horn assembly. I'm just going to use a 12-millimeter right here and remove this bolt. Here's our horn assembly. There's our one bolt. To remove the horn from the wiring just go ahead and squeeze this little button right here, give it a little tug. Generally speaking, it should slide out of there. There it is. Take a peek in here. Make sure there's no funny colors. It looks okay. And there's our horn assembly.
Now it's time to get this reconnected. We're just going to line this up, squeeze it in and we're going to listen for a click. There we are. Give it a nice tug, feels great. We'll line this back up. Get our bolt started with just a basic 12-millimeter. Nice and tight. Cool, let's give it a little test, and then we'll move on to the next step. Sounds good. All right, so we've got our grill. We want to make sure all of our push clips are in. We've got one here. I've got two more. One goes right here. One goes over on this side.
Cool, we'll get everything lined up. These long prongs go inside the bottom holes there, and then these little clippies go in the top one. Let's give it a little bonk, bonk, bonk, bonk, cool. Okay, two screws, let's get them started. Awesome. We've got our push clips. Okay, put some down there. Grab those ones in a minute. Come right up along the top here. Three clips left, three holes left. I'm just going to get it lined up here. One, two, if I can get my hand in here, looks good. Okay, let's tighten these up. Perfect, we'll clean up our mess. Good to go.
