| I have previously submitted a complaint odi id number 10110013 dated 8-3-05. at this time, i will insist that a serious consideration be given to the wiring harness connected to the cruise control servo whereby- the horn is in play there!!! i am of course talking about recall #05v388000 (nhtsa recall campaign number) ford f150 /suv '95- '01 with cruise control fire potential. the fuse (#13 as listed in the manual - check out the number of items connected to that one fuse!) had blown before a fire destroyed my whole truck. that is to say i had sustained damage to my vehicle. ford service -mccafferty of langhorne, pa recently installed the inline bandaid at the mfg. request. mccafferty again left me to there streets with an obviously burned harness/cruise servo pin connections. (with the harness disconnected there is no horn! can i stress this enough? my point is this - the service techs' and management don't believe that this harness has anything to do with my horn. question - do the engineers at ford feel the same way? from today's inquire on this site there are uncertainties as to what actually is the cause. this could be it!!!! the owners guide lists the horn to be connected at #3 of the power distribution box located under the hood. so be it ! it is also connected to the #13 fuse under the dash. the chart on pg 357 of the manual doesn't list the horn as part of the circuitry. it is however connected to the harness that is connected to that circuitry. on a personal note, i'd like to get my cruise control parts replaced - they were burned up prior to the recall of my '96 f150. my truck didn't flame up but i smelled burning. *nm | |||
