See Relay #3

you can swap it temp w/da FP relay to verify where it is good/...check for corrosion..
could be other problems along ckt.

In my 96, whcih is = to your 95; the Horn Relay Fuse is also in da Power Distribution Box (PDB);

I know that earlier years did have a horn fuse in the cab fuse block
Also, check the cab fuse block cover; inside for a diagram as well bec sometimes Ford made changes and their on-line diagrams don't match up well w/ the cover's diagram

UPDATE: Stopped at Pep Boys and bought a replacement relay (as described above by Mierk5) and bingo ! Horn is now functioning.

Thanks much Mierk5 !

So, hopefully, this will help someother FSB owner in the futre.

Summary:
1. FSB is a 1995, 5.8L.
2. Airbag light was flashing on dash.
3. Horn didnt work.

Fix:
1. Replaced clock spring (note the clockspring is NOT the same for a 94 FSB as is the 95 FSB)
2. Replaced horn relay.

Gotta love this forum.

yo
Good job BBL!

Was the recall work done on it?
If not; get it done Immediately!!!

Recall; Fused Jumper Harness (14A411) pic; "List price on this is ~$11 (as of the date I posted the pic), but it will be installed at NO CHARGE (parts or labor) on vehicles covered by the recall. Even though the label is wrong about the fuse being internal, it should still NEVER be replaced. If it blows, it means the brake pressure switch is leaking, and (as the label states) should be replaced with the new switch & adapter harness kit, listing for ~$20 right now..."

Since horn works, rule out da Clock Spring

hello, new to the forums but you guys have helped me before

i seem to be in the same situation as mudhound.

my cruise amp is missing and my horn relay clicks instead of the horn.

i see the 1 connector for the cruise amp but nothing for the horn (yel/grn yel/blu blue)

what about the lack of horn connector?

any help is appreciated

Cool one Steve83 and thanks to both of yuh, Miesk!

Been wondering about those dangged Ford relays, had a few failures on
them. One failure has been them working when they wasn't supposed to.
Shut the door and the fuel pump would come one or hook up the meter
ready to check the IAC voltage and find voltage on it with the key off. :/

Bought some Bosch relays and pig-tailed-holders from Parts Express and
used them for my weird-assed dash mounted ignition switch rewiring job.
http://www.panix.com/~alvinj/file12/BroncoDash.jpg
So have been thinking about swapping out the relays under the hood too.

Oh, and x2 on the horn relay, you can see I don't have a horn button yet
but jumpering the wires I hear the relay under dash clicking but no horn.
