steering column wiring
I recently bought a '97 f150 xlt and I'm begining to believe I own pandora's box.
On the way to work, I checked to see if the cruise control worked. It does, until I turn on the right turn signal at which time the cruise disengages!
From time-to-time my right turn signal blinks rapidly w/ no visual on the dash or @ the headlamp. Bulb, flasher ok. If I play with the turn signal arm I may get it to work.
Anyone else having these types of problems?

The Non-Cruise horn wire normally runs the power for the cruise.
Is the horn working fine?
How about the T/S does it cause a problem with the cruise too ?
Check inside the steering wheel center pad for shorting wires.
I suspect a problem in there or the turn signal switch area.
Everything is packed in the T/S switch area.

Hey Dennis,
I read your comments about the horn/cruise wiring. My wife's '94 T-Bird has had non-functional horn and cruise for quite a while now. I've looked under the column but didn't see anything loose or broken. Any suggestions?

My truck's cruise works fine, but it just started doing that same turn signal thing you mentioned. I've noticed you'll hear it clicking real fast, with no illuminated dash indicator, and the amber exterior turn indicator light doesn't come on either. Just happens every once in a while though, post here if you find the solution.
