Horn fuse keeps blowing. Want to check the wires. Cannot locate the relay. Not sure there is one.

Hello,

It is located under the hood in the small relay canter. I have found diagrams (BELOW) for the entire fuse box and fusible links and relay box and locations for you to help you get the problem fixed.

One morning when I started truck and turned on the headlights, the horn started blowing continuosly until I would turn the headlights back off. Also while the horn was sounding off, the windshield wipers started to run as well. the only way that I could get the horn and wipers to stop was to unplug the vehicles horns. After disconnecting the horn has now caused the cruise control to stop working which is also located on the steering wheel. My truck is now due for inspection but without the horn it is definitely not going to pass. Do you have any suggestions of where I should start on resolving this serious issue. Thank you for time and sugestions

Dry out the relay panel above the passenger side floor board. It has moisture in it. I'm guessing it rained recently. There are two reasons this happens. The windshields are notorious for leaking where you can't see them into this panel and people get in and out of the passenger side with wet feet and the moisture evaporates into the relay panel. It is crossing the relays from the windshield wipers and horn with the headlights and causing this. I have been through this every time it rains. Have to get out my hair dryer. Terrible design ford.
