Horn isn't working

I have a 94 F-150. I can't find the fuse for the horn anywhere. Anyone know any other problems to the horn not working?

under the hood, in power distribution box:

fuse 3 is for horn/flash to pass headlights 30 amp

or

relay 3 is for horn

check those than if still not ok, than it may be clockspring behind steering wheel.

Another obvious check is to make sure that the terminal is plugged in at the horn itself.

Perhaps "obvious" wasn't the best word choice there. I don't know how many times I've beat my head against the wall because of a loose connection somewhere on something.

i need to get an inspection sticker for it.

I found the fuse and relay box under the hood. on the bottom of the top part it marks "Relay 1" "Relay 2" Relay 3" and so on. Thats the right relay right. Your sure it's #3?

Doing more research on this, i think i might of found out what it is. My airbag light flashes like 3 times at me then goes away then repeats every 10 seconds, but i just never put 2 and 2 together. And my cruise control doesn't work also. Does this mean i need a new clockspring? Cause if it was the fuse or relay, the airbag light wouldn't even be able to flash??

Sorry Stang.... We don't have inspections here & I never use my horn. Just wondered how you knew it didn't work.

Had the same problem in my '94. I put off changing that clockspring for over a year. Turned out to be an easy job and it's sure nice to have the cruise control back.

just remember to disconnect the battery.

and remember that airbag can do a lot of damage so handle with care.

Is this something i can do myself? I have basic mechanical knowledge. How would i get the wheel off? Is there a way i can get it off myself or do i need to get a wheel puller?

Are clocksprings alot of money?

sorry for all the questions
