PATS does not blow the horn. Pull the horn fuse to see if that stops the draw. Then troubleshoot the horn circuit to see where the power is coming from. You can start at the horn relay. The relay gets a ground signal from the horn switch in the steering wheel. If that signal is constant, the problem is upstream of the relay--perhaps within the steering wheel. Do not remove the steering wheel to troubleshoot without disarming the airbag.

Testimonial: "Thank you so much for your advise have not gotten the chance to try this due to rain...our weather is bipolar lol..will update with results just as soon as i can !"

About 3 months ago keep alive code came up on 2009 escape was running fine, then went out couple days later battery went dead didn't get new battery for 3 months, now it won't crank have to keep trying...

I looked your security system, it said starter motor disable. It will probably also disable your fuel injectors. If security system has a problem, you may need a scanner that can communicate with your security system. Also, sometimes when battery voltage is lost, some modules may need to be reprogrammed. Are there any applicable trouble codes?
You can check the basics, spark at the plugs, proper fuel pressure, compression.

Need to find the horn relay in a 1993 ford mustang gt I tested the horn and all fuses. I don't have a wiring diagram and chiltons doesn't show the horn circuit

94 was a new model freshening and I have 94. may be similar.

Horn Relay and fuse is in fuse box in engine compartment, driver side in front of strut tower.

Horn System The horn system includes:
  • Dual horns (13832) (one high pitched, one low pitched).
  • Horn blow switch (13A875) which grounds the horn relay, which energizes the horns .
