Horn button on the floor?
Does anyone know how to wire a horn button that mounts to the floor? I have no idea how to find the horn wire thru all of the wires coming out the steering column.

You should be able to use a volt meter using the probe in the connector and just trying different wires and pushing the existing horn button and seeing when you get a voltage reading

And if you have not got All your neighbours mad at you and ready to kill you by the time you find the right wire you'll be Damned lucky
.....it would be easier to get the kit and read the instructions than to inalienate your yourself from the whole neighbourhood

I would rather toot the horn a couple times rather than spend money on a kit. It's not like there are that many wires anyways to check. My neighbor would probably just come over and try to help anyways - sounds like you got some crappy neighbors if they can't stand a couple horn toots.
How do you fix or build a truck in silence anyways?

A horn on the floor. Hmmm. 
How do I get my 2 horns (Buick) hooked up to my finger, (Middle) while I negotiate my (Ford F-250) thru (Charm City)?
Any ideas I can be reached (here).
BTW, Y'All Rock!

Find your Horn Relay.
It will Have a Yellow wire, Yellow/Green wire and a Blue/Yellow wire coming out of it.
You want to Tap into the Blue/Yellow wire.
A: Tap into the Blue/Yellow wire but do not completely cut the wire in half. It will need to go to where it is going now.
B: From your tapped wire, hook that into your new horn button on the floor, then ground the other side.
Hooked up this way, your original horn pad and cruise will still work, and you will have a new horn button on the floor.
Hope this helps.

If the truck is equipped with cruise control, there's not one new turn signal switch available anywhere. The switch has been obsolete for almost 20 years.
Everyone wants one, there are none to be found. The turn signal switch fits 1975/77 F100/350's with Cruise Control only: D5TZ-13341-B.

I'll have to look at it a little closer to decide how I'm gonna do it. And with that turn signal switch being so hard to find is it possible to get one not for cruise control and somehow make it work? I do need to replace my signal switch and the only thing stopping me is finding that part.
