Horn is gone
Godd morning and thank you for letting me join this forum.
I have a 2002 4.6 Ford F150 crew cab. I checked my horn fuse, it was ok, replaced the horn relay, and it still did not work. Does anyone have any suggestions. I remember my horn, at the very last day it was working, that I barely touched it and the horn stayed stuck for a while. I had to manipulate it to stop and then all of a sudden, there was no horn after that.
Thank you

No Dan, I sure don't. Heck do they go bad after 5 years? I guess I'll just go buy a new one if there is an aftermarket one. I did replace my plugs but I do not thingthat had anything to do with disconnecting any wires that I have seen. I believed I have checked everything minus the horn itself.

Clock Spring. Is this a dealer Item and is it easy to replace? Thanks for your help on this becasue it is really bothering me. I took the horn out and I tried getting wires to it. I am not good with that kind of stuff. I used housing wire to test it because I did not have 12 gauge and the horn did not go off.

Ok, thanks for the replies. I did get new horns and they work beautifully and loud. Got them from NAPA and I had to modify the connections but that was ok. My trouble is that my horn sticks now. I plugged it in and it just stayed blowing away. Pissed my neighbors off. I unplugged them after I pressed the horn pad a few times. It would stop then start blowing on it's own again. I removed the airbag and found the electrical pad of the horn. It seemd to still work when I touched it but it was rather sensitive. I put it back together and the horn would work for a while but still get stuck blowing endlessly. I had to disconnect the horn. Is that Electronic pad bad?

2002 f150 4.6
all I can deduce at this point is the switch at the master cylinder along with the harness, Part #9f924.
I tried the diagnosis test and the cruise indicator only came on with the ON button. The Resme, Casot amnd Set/Accel switcehs did not make it blink and what I have read tells me nothing as far as the diagnosis.
I replaced the clockspring and now I will replace the switch and harness at the master cylinder and go from there. That switch was deluged with brake fluid and so was the connection. I hope that ios it. I would appreciate any suggestions to this point.
