I did a little more searching and found this:
Bronco F-150 thru F-350, E-150 thru E-350 and Super F Series
The horn relay is use on vehicles equipped with speed control and is located under the left side of the instrument panel, left of the steering column and is mounted on the outboard attaching screw of the speed control amplifier module.
I hope that helps you out.

I cant really help cause the 6.9 is a diesel and the only SPEED CONTROL im aware of Ford having back then was vacuum operated. Unless Ford put a vacuum pump on their engine (again im not sure) I couldnt tell you. If someone around here knows theyll show up. Just give it some time.

My problem was the Speed pick up that mounts at the Speedo cable where it connects into the tranny (Not to be confused w/ the VSS mounted on the Diff, which on your truck is specific to Rabs function). Takes about $56. and 2 minutes to change. I tested the switches, fuses, individual components & replaced the VSS on the diff (for a separate RABS problem) to no avail first.

From the 1980/89 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog:
E7TZ13853A .. Horn Relay (Motorcraft HB124) / Use w/Speed Control only / Obsolete
Fits: 1987/88 F150/350, F(Super Duty), Bronco & Econoline / There is no horn relay listed for 1989. (The horn relay used w/speed control only in 1976/86 is different [D6TZ13853A-Motorcraft HB112]).
If y'all need one a these, there are dozens still available from Ford Dealers, obsolete parts vendors.
Here's a partial list:
WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has ONE = 606-787-5293.
GRAYSON FORD in Grayson KY has ONE.
KINSEL L/M in Beaumont TX has EIGHT = 800-816-2894.
GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has FIVE = 800-543-4959.
PARTS INTERNATIONAL in Farmers Branch TX has FOURTEEN = 888-727-0418.

I see now. Still a good idea, if you have to hit your horn it's reasonable to assume that disengaging cruise control might be a good thing!

I agree! just though the "idea" kinda made sense.
