Horn
Hey guys, Appreciate the info I received from my last post. I have a problem with my 2003 f-250 6.0. Last night my wife and I went out for a nice spring evening drive in East Tn. My horn on the truck just started blowing steady. I thought I hit the panic button on fob but pressing remote did nothing. I had to take out the fuse to stop the horn. Any ideas as to what the problem might be would sure help. I recently had the steering column shift lever replaced due to the overdrive not engaging so I wondered if something in this area might be shorted. Maybe its payback for beeping at the slow drivers! Thanks

I would say definatly in steering column. I had a Bronco that did the same thing. It was the spring loaded contacts behind the steering wheel that shorted to ground. Mine was at a stop light in the middle of traffic, just started blowing. Got some really funny looks, especially when smoke started coming out of the column.

Thanks EZ-Ford, I recently had the shifter on the column replaced so maybe that had something to do with this happening. I will let the mechanic take a look. I usually don't tackle anything too technical. Appreciate your response.

Horn problem in 03 6.0 deisel
Sorry to respond to cashcraft so late. The shifter on column was replaced along with a sensor in tranny to fix the overdrive problem of not engaging. Following that repair, the horn just started on its own and I had to remove the # 37 fuse to stop it. I left it out for several months and just reinstalled the fuse and the horn is operating normal now. Must be a short. Anyway, I have just sold the truck to my son and I will find out from him if he has any more trouble. Thanks for your response.
