99 explorer; no horn
Hi,
I have a 99 explorer and just recently noticed the horn not working, or the cruise control. These are both activated on the steering wheel. Does anyone have any advice on this issue. I'm hoping it is a fuse but have not found anything in the owners manual.

I have not noticed that light being on but will check. Is that light located on the panel with all the other indicator lights? I'm hoping that it's not the clockspring, after reading another forum last night. That seems like it could be a nightmare, or costly to fix.

I had time with this warm weather and checked and found the Horn relay fuse was bad and changed it. the horn worked and I decided to take for a drive and found that the cruise now works. Before, you could not even feel the buttons engage while pushing on them. Just wanted to pass this along in case anyone else runs into same problem. the fuse is in the distribution box in the engine compartment in position #10.

Glad to hear your prob was solved. I have been looking all night, and thought i finally found someone with the same problem, but i was mistaken. I had a little fender bender in October, got the truck back in December, but the cruise hasn't worked since then. around $13,000 in damages all said and done. The mechanic thought the pcm needed flashed, but as it turns out, that shouldn't have anything to do with it according to the dealership. Anyway, 40 mph at impact, the airbags did not deploy. The fuses are good, (5,13,and 28 especially), no warning lights on the panel. Horn works, brake and tail lights work, center high mount works, and no codes. Dealership doesn't know what's wrong. And neither do I. Anybody have any ideas?

forgot to mention, i have a '00 f350 PSD. I know this isn't the super duty or the PSD forum, but it's the closest fit to my problem. I just did a search for cruise control and got to this post. Thanks in advance!
