How to install an independent horn line for a Ford F150, 1994. Horn does not work in the steeting column so I am trying to run an independent line and button for the horn.

The elements to a horn circuit in your vehicle are:

1. Steering wheel horn button;
2. Actuator wire in steering column;
3. Ground wire for steering column;
4. Horn relay; and
5. Horn.

Start troubleshooting!

you must check the contact switch on the steer wheel.

if the horn itself works there is a few things to check, the first is the cheapest, you take off the horn cover and there is a a thin round connector if it is out of the hole push it in and give a slight turn clock wise to lock it in place, also check to see if the relay works, when you press the horn you should hear it click.

Before taking apart the steering wheel, I would run a power jumper to the horn to make sure it works, the horn may have done bad.

Hope this helps

You missed something putting the column back together. IDK the design of the wheel, but if all the wires to the column are good, I'd look at the switch itself in the column. Probably not making contact.

Try running your own power wire to the actual horn to see if it will blow,if it does replace the horn button in the steering column if it doesn't,replace the horn.

First, hook a test light to the power wire on the horn, push the horn button, and see if you have power there. If you have power, the problem is the horn itself. Maybe even run a jumper wire to the horn, and see if it will blow. Sometimes with these older trucks, it just as easy to change the whole steering column as it is to find the problem. (if you can get a column from an auto wrecker cheap) It will likely be a broken wire in the column somewhere, ususally near where it tilts.

most the time on the billet steering wheels you have to put a push button horn. if you ran a wire through column it would spin wire and eventually break it..

with the horn you can run a wire from the battery to the horn to check it if that dosent work then it is probably the contact wire inside the steering column, I cant remember the name of the part but this should fix the horn and cruise problem.

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.
