No cruise, no horn...

When I first bought the truck, I didn't care that the crusie control or horn, or any power point in the truck for that matter, were not working. But now that I'm driving it more than the Mustang, I kinda want these things to work. I've checked all the fuses, under the hood and under the dash, all seem fine. I have a weird feeling that something is disconnected, mainly because the airbag light flashes, but then again I don't know much about the truck so I don't dare act under my own assumption.

Any ideas appreciated!

Brandon

Check the wires going to your multiswitch on your steering column under the dash. sometimes these get kicked and the wires get ripped out of the connector. the connector you need to look for is kind of shaped like a horseshoe with like 16 wires going into it if i remember right. Cruise control should be the blue wire and your horn is yellow im pretty sure.

also the connector somewhat stradles the steering column if that makes any sense.

No cruise, no horn, airbag light flashing

It's either the connector like Titanium suggested or the clockspring that carries power to them. The clockspring is a known problem area, so I'd bet on it.

sounds like the clock spring to me. i've had the same issue with every ford vehicle i and my parents have ever owned. new clock spring = fixed problem.
