Streering Wheel Controls
2001 F150 4x4 5.4L AutoTrans
I discovered yesterday that in addition to my windshield wipers not working, my cruise control and horn no longer work either.
So currently the electrical devices controlled on the steering column/wheel that work:
-Windshield fluid pump
-Blinkers
-Hazard flashers
-Trans O/D defeat
-Bright Headlights
Devices that don't:
-Wipers
-Cruise Control
-Horn
Is there a connector prone to coming loose?

There is sometimes a connector prone to coming loose. You can tilt the wheel and see if things start working again. Also, there is a clockspring in behind the steering wheel that is prone to going bad. It takes the elec signals from the switches, and transfers them from the steering wheel that is in motion to the stationary column. Usually though, the airbag is involved in the clockspring too, so be careful with that.
