would Ford design something so that the circuit breaker for the freaking horn is built into the light switch on our cars? I really haven't traced it down yet. but my horn just up and quit working. While I had my Chilton book out yesterday I was looking to see which fuse the horn is hooked to so I could check to see if it was just that sinple. After reading and re-reading (several time) the diagram and table telling you what fuse in what position is hooked to which circuit and what the rating for each one is, I just did not see anything that said "HORN" listed in the table for the fuse locations. so I read on a little bit further and it says that the horn circuit runs through a built in circuit breaker in the headlight switch? Is this really correct or was I smoking something and hallucinatedededed this??? LOL
Yes, the horn uses the circuit breaker for the car - which is located inside the headlight switch and is self resetting. If your headlights work - problem is not with the breaker. The horn itself is often the weak link of the system and I would test that first if the breaker is OK.
I think some auto engineers are still smoking crack (guessing that they just smoked weed in the late 60's when our cars were designed...).... My mum had a Chevy camper van a while ago had a short in the horn and/or taillights which would blow the fuse intermittently (it was a Starcraft conversion so the fault was probably causes by the camper conversion...) I used to blip the horn occasionally to make sure it was still working because if it wasn't then the FREAKIN TALLIGHTS were not working. Stupid safety hazard. Every time I heard tires squealing behind me I would cringe and wait for an impact. And yes... I eventually DID get rear ended once in the damn thing.... luckily for insurance the lights were working at the time.
