1997 F150 PROBS

My battery died a few times as i was goin down th road so i took th alternator & got it checked & it was bad so had my buddy put a new 1 on 4 me.

Prob solved right??? Nope!!!

I jst remembered...th other day, i hadta honk at a peep tht wuldnt go after th lite turned green. I tapped th horn...then tapped it again...& it kept honking.....i hit th horn with th side of my fist & it quit.

Tht nite bout midnite.....according 2 my neighbor (i took my sleepin pills & was out...so i didnt hear it) th horn jst started blaring....after several minits it quit.

Th next day i noticed th cruise & th horn didnt work. AND TH BATTERY WONT HOLD A CHARGE.

Any ideas???

It looks like your using an I-PAD to address this forum.
Please spell out the words.
Look at fuse 5 in the engine bay for being blown.
If yes there is a short in the circuit to the Horn relay, steering column, alarm system etc..
These would all be involved from what you describe.
For a better look at the circuit see a 97-2002 Haynes Manual page 12-32 bottom of page for pick-up trucks.
You will have to trace it out.
Good luck
