My horn pad is trashed so I removed it for the time being. I have cruise controll. Is the horn relay on the pass fender above the starter selenoid? Two yellow thicker wires with a smaller blue wire or where would it be with CC? I have 2 wire conectors in the wheel. One is a short piece of black wire with a female bullet conector and the other is just a flat spade. I jumped the spade to the center shaft and got nothing. I think the bullet conector was for the cruise. You dont realize how much you use the horn until you dont have one.

Do truck horns have a different tone than a car horn?
Right now my truck horn (not sure where I got it) sounds more high pitched than the original horns in my '69 mustang.

NUMBERDUMMY; how many different horn part numbers are there from 67-79?

The horn in my '79 F100 sounds the exact same as the horn that was in my '77 LTD. The dual-horn setups have separate high and low horns; maybe you're running a single high horn.
