Kia Soul 2015 took me 13 minutes start to finish. Same parts. I can't thank you enough for posting this video and making my life a little easier. Stay gold, Sir.
I had added a pair of ebay horns maybe 3 years ago, that have apparently stopped working.... The factory horn still works. I had the Front Bumper Cover off today so I was able to confirm the add-on horns were not working. When they did work, the combined 3 horn sound was nice & loud....like an early 70's Cadillac. I ordered a new pair off Amazon that will be here before next weekend....
Crossthread is better than locktight...😂 Great job brother. My neighbor just paid Kia 800.00 dollar's to have that installed. Wait until i show her this. Thank you for the video. Have a great day.
Thanks for this video. Saved me a lot of headache to just remove the headlight. I bought a salvage title car, and they clearly forgot to put the horn back in the car, easy fix (spent $30 when the shop said it would probably be $300 or more depending on the problem).
Hi sir. Thanks for posting this. Do you by chance know if this would work the same for a slightly newer Soul? I have a 2022 but not much in the way of car maintenance knowledge.
anyone that has done this recently would you tag the name of the adapter you bought to plug it in & the horn model number says not compatible for 2014 ?
Can you post the model or link of the adapter you used? I found the horn without a problem but need to find the adapter and unable to find one. thanks in advance.
Go to Amazon and type in "kia horn adapter cable" you will fine many there. here is one if the link works. www.amazon.com/Adapter-Wiring-Harness-Pigtail-Compatible/dp/B0991CR9QQ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3KC9UP4L31PRM&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.04SBzNRgt06cZh_-6dbecl3X3hozNSCyAKlquaOg4DoSSU12KcIVHfXo0F0HtNQEZ92s5LlZmH9zpIBSxVfLLPj7bjuVfB2SuCQHIYJiHpl7oUwABdFqD7sfQxYWkzKvTNUXv3EG8dWgjwocn2FBdBp7m73KFdQ5ARgEWAM9bSCNwCYAbfoA4d-0BxNhjIPgwsM9arO4vqFgAugvBYRnzlA3VRDembHBuRF2ovbfssU.d33l08s3LBKq-T7uoqqA1WCYDwZUAS6uvTtuVW99RPU&dib_tag=se&keywords=kia%2Bhorn%2Badapter%2Bcable&qid=1727143077&sprefix=kia%2Bhorn%2Badapter%2Bcable%2Caps%2C302&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1
Thank you. This doesn't sound too hard. I need to pass an inspection for my car, and only thing that's holding me back is the horn not working. It gives a terrible groaning sound now.
@@Robothut Oh yeah that's crazy They Wanted you to disassemble 25% of the car just to fix a horn That's awesome that you were able To come up with a solution You only disassembled maybe about 5% of the car and fixed the horn
Its not hard to get the front bumper cover off.... 2 bolts & 4 screw clips on top. 1 bolt in each wheel well. 2 screws & 4 screw clips underneath. You can unbolt both headlights but don't need to.

Fantastic. Thank you for commenting.
Thanks! My horn died for the second time on my Kia. First time it cost me almost $250. I’ll be doing it myself this time!

I agree, when adding more horns it would be best to take the front bumper off. Hope the new horns do the job and last more than 3 years.
Thanks for this it’s gonna help me a ton 👍🏽
Its a lot easier that I thought. Saves a lot of time.
Crossthread is better than locktight...😂
Great job brother.
My neighbor just paid Kia 800.00 dollar's to have that installed.
Wait until i show her this.
Thank you for the video.
Have a great day.

So glad it helped you. It is easy to do once you know you do not have to pay a shop to take the front of the car body off.
Common now you need to install one of those giant Ahoogah Truck horns in there ! 😁
I tried to talk Pam into just that, but she said NO !
@@Robothut Or a cute Roadrunner horn, or a General Lee horn!
@@Pygar2 So many options. I went for the under $9 buck solution.
@@Robothut As would I. How many horses do you have? Are they named?
Great idea! Could you post links to the horn and the adapter you used in the video? Thanks!
Bought my parts over 1 year ago, so links would not be active. Its an easy search on Amazon.

I do not know . Sorry.

Not very hard unless you have really large hands. Low-cost fix and worth trying yourself compared to paying someone to do it.
love my Kia Soul hate the horn sound lol
Now you can easily replace that horn with a new one that sounds the way you like.
Good deal John 😎👍🏻
do you have the Amazon links for the two parts?
Bought mine over 1 year ago so links would not be active. Just search amazon for kia horn adapter cable and Kia horn.
Always thinking outside the Box 👍
I had too as there was no way I was going to take the front end of the car off, but the wife wanted the horn working again.
@@Robothut Oh yeah that's crazy They Wanted you to disassemble 25% of the car just to fix a horn That's awesome that you were able To come up with a solution You only disassembled maybe about 5% of the car and fixed the horn
Does the car have 2 horns? Did you have to replace both?
The cars come with 1 horn, but there is room for adding a 2 horn system if you want.
@@Robothut Thank you
Thank you!!! This saves me so much money
Your welcome. It saved me a lot of money as well.
Is this the same for a 2011 Kia soul?
I bet it is, but I only have the 2014 Kia so cannot say for sure.
Love the green there grate cars
Its not hard to get the front bumper cover off.... 2 bolts & 4 screw clips on top. 1 bolt in each wheel well. 2 screws & 4 screw clips underneath.
You can unbolt both headlights but don't need to.
Its a lot easier to just remove the head lamp with 2 bolts. Had the job done in 5 minuets.
it's hard for those of us with arthritic knees...glad you don't understand that...yet.
Great video! Thanks a lot
If I had a second person to work the camera it could have been better. But I had a job to do and did it. Glad it helped you.
Sound of horn at 12:45
1 little beep, it was so loud compared to the original horn.
Thank you so much.
I would do 1 headlight Not the entire grille
It's so simple. Why all the video's on removing the grill? That's ridiculous.
first i though you gonna print a horn . haha
If not for the heat from the engine it might be a good idea to 3d print a horn.
My soul horn is the worst.
Yes, even when they work it is like a moped horn. So now you can update to any sound you like.
