2004 ford windstar, the airbag light is on and the horn will not work

the horn problem could be a fuse or faulty horn most likely the fuse. airbag light could be a faulty relay or fuse. crunching sound in steering could be a sign of faulty rack and pinion good luck

REPLACE HORN

my horn only work sometime

THE WHOLE HORN PAD AND AIRBAG IN STEERING WHEEL HAS TO BE REPLACED.BECAUSE HORN PAD BUILT IN THE AIRBAG.IF YOU GOING TO REPLACE AIRBAG IN STEERING WHEEL YOUR SELF. DISARM AIRBAGS BY FIRST TURNING OFF RADIO,THEN REMOVE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE,WAIT 20 MINUTES FOR AIRBAGS DISCHARGE.BEFORE REMOVING THE AIRBAG HORN PAD.

under your steering wheel, is a part called a clock spring which controls your airbag/horn........removal of steering wheel is necessary
it looks like a round thing with multiple colored wires coming out of it.
the replacement is available at your local Ford dealer

PS: disconnect battery first! you will need a steering wheel puller to do the job.

Hi Mamaberta7,
The OD light flashing is something you need to have checked using a scanner. Since this trans. was recently rebuilt,you want to get it checked soon. The transmission can default to full line pressure and this can cause damage. Also if the unit isn't locking up, it can cause the transmission to overheat.
The airbag light on and the horn not working are probably tied into the clock-spring. This is the most common concern with the symptom you have. Again,you can have the code pulled to confirm the problem or you can use a DVOM (Digital volt/ohm meter) and check for continuity through the clock-spring. If you want to check it yourself,let me know and I will get you the steps to down the system and the wiring diagram.
If you have any other questions,drop me a line. Thanks,Chuck

horn is only to be used to attrack attention of nice looking woman ,if the driver in front is asleep at the traffic lights or on the mobile and doesnt move off ten seconds before they change ,or attracting the attention of someone on the top floor of apartment building so you do not have to get out of vehicle and ring bell.-----right airbag removal ,disconnect battery then look under the steering wheel for air bag fitting retainer ,two types one is a sprung lever that has to be moved to one side and the other is a small bolt head with either a 8mm headaed bolt or a star drive .

I had the same problem in my 98 Dodge Grand Caravan. The problem was the "clock spring" cable in the steering column. A flexible cable connects the horn, air bag, and in my case the cruise control to the rest of the car. Chrysler fixed the problem at no charge. It is a recall item that they will fix if it fails. Ford may possibly do the same thing. I had my car fixed last year.

You should take the vehicle to a certified dealer immediately; Your airbag could deploy prematurely causing serious injury or death!

There is something called a clock spring in the column that is used for the airbag, horn and cruise control buttons. This clock spring if messed with will cause a/bag light to come on and possibly cause a/bag failure if there is a collision. DON"T mess with the wiring in the column. Run new wires in to the horn or install an a/market horn.
