Horn Problem with 97 F-150 XLT

Hi,

I have had my F-150 for about 6 months now, and about 2 months ago, when I came home from work, I used the keyless entry to lock my doors. When the horn chirped, it laid on the horn. The only way I could stop the horn was to disconnect them from the cable. I couldn't disconnect them from the fuse box. I tried both the relay and the fuse.

Has anyone had this problem? Or have any advice?

Fuse F5 or horn relay removal should have removed power from the horns if you have a factory alarm.

If it's an aftermarket alarm, it was probably installed so it directly operates the horn. In that case, the aftermarket alarm is the problem.

Steve,

Worked nicely, thanks.

Since my horn did stick, do you think I would have to replace the entire horn system, including cruise control?

Uh, what worked?

You really haven't done any diagnosis yet, have you?
