Horn intermediately working
My 88 f150 horn is working in and off. I’ll notice it’s not working so I take the horn pad off and move the ground around and it fixes it. Works when I put it back together. I go out the next day to do some work on it and horn doesn’t work so I do the same thing except I put electrical tape over the ground wire to hold it in the hole. Fixes it. I go out today to top of trans fluid and move the truck and horn doesn’t work. Why won’t the ground work? I tried moving it to the hole on top and it didn’t fix it I put it back on the bottom and it didn’t fix it. Any tips would be appreciated thanks.

I didn’t hear clicking. But when the key is off, the horn works. But when the key is on it doesn’t work. What causes this? I’ve recently took a column from a LKQ and before it was tilt now it’s a no tilt until I get a refurbished one.

I had a similar problem on my previous 95 and it was just dirty connectors on the horns. I sprayed electrical contact cleaner on/in them and problem solved for years.
The horn is supposed to work with the key off. Maybe there is a problem with the clockspring.

you need to dump PhotoBucket,
they put that overlay over images and ruins them.
use Imgur instead, they don't do that.

I didn’t even know this company existed. It was on a forum. Someone posted the photo with a comment, I just screenshot the photo of the thread and edited it.
Is the text above the photo bucket photo correct with the guy saying something about fuse 16?

So I just went to the junkyard to get a tilt column and they didn’t have any. I messed with it more even with the ignition off and the key turned forward one it still makes the horn stop working. Why?
