Cruise Control Question
On my 03 6.0 4x4 when I press the cruise control on button (holding it down) and then press the coast button my horn goes off.
I know this is a stupid question but it is such an odd thing that I just had to ask.

This is normal. all my Fords do this! There are only so many wires going to the column for the steering wheel buttons. Fords uses a switch matrix without diodes to sense the switch contacts. Since they assume that you would never press these two buttons at once, they do not think it is a problem!

after some deep thought why would we "press the cruise control on button (holding it down) and then press the coast button my horn goes off"
