You probably broke or bent the little pin that sticks out of the multi-function switch that makes the contact for the horn through the back side of the turn signal cancel cam.

Turn Signal Lamps
The HAZ LP fuse in the underhood fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the multifunction hazard switch assembly. The TURN fuse in the IP fuse block supplies Ignition positive voltage to the multifunction turn signal switch assembly. With the ignition switch in the RUN or START position, ignition positive voltage is connected through the multifunction turn signal and hazard switch assembly to the flasher module which is grounded at G205. When the turn signal switch is placed in either the left or right position, the circuit is complete from the flasher module to the turn signal lamps and to ground. The flasher module then sends an on-off voltage signal to either the left or right turn signals and their instrument panel cluster (IPC) indicator. When the hazard switch is activated, all turn signal lamps will flash including both IPC turn indicators. The front turn signals are grounded at G111 and G112. The rear turn signals are grounded at G475 and G422 on the pickup and G450 on the utility.
Which insturment cluster does your's have ? electronic instrument cluster or standard instrument cluster !
Standard insturment cluster - speedo / odometer Speedometer/Odometer
The speedometer and odometer provides speed information based on a speed/distance pulse signal from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). The VSS is mounted on the speedometer driven gear in the transmission.
Could be the VSS is bad .
Horn
The horn system includes the following:
horn relay
horn
clock spring
steering wheel control switch harness
steering wheel pad horn switch, which is part of the driver side air bag module. For additional information, refer to Section 501-20B .
The horn is located behind the front bumper mounted to the radiator support.
Is the air bag light lit on the insturment cluster ? If it is the clock spring could be the problem . If not lit check the circuits from the horn relay .
Which headlamps don't work ? Low beams , high beams , both ?
The high beams are inoperative
Bulbs.
Circuitry.
Multifunction switch.
GO to Pinpoint Test C .
The low beams are inoperative
Bulbs.
Circuitry.
Headlamp switch.
Multifunction switch.
LCM.
GO to Pinpoint Test D .
Principles of Operation NOTE: Due to varying wattage ratings and resulting current draw, certain aftermarket headlamp bulbs may cause the lighting control module (LCM) to shut down the short circuit protection, resulting in the low beams becoming inoperative. Verify that the headlamp bulbs meet Ford specifications.
Headlamp System
The headlamp system consists of:
two aerodynamic halogen headlamp bulbs and retainers
headlamp switch
multifunction switch
lighting control module (LCM)
circuit wiring and circuit protection
In normal operation:
With the multifunction switch in the low beam position, power is supplied by the LCM to the low beam elements through the multifunction switch.
With the multifunction switch in the high beam position (forward detent), power is supplied to the high beam elements and to the high beam indicator in the instrument cluster.
When the multifunction switch is pulled toward the steering wheel, the flash-to-pass switch (part of the multifunction switch) is closed and power is supplied to the high beam elements. When the switch is released, they return to low beam operation.
The battery saver feature of the LCM will automatically turn off the courtesy lamps, demand lamps, headlamps, or parking lamps under the following conditions:
The ignition switch is in the OFF position.
The headlamp switch is in parking lamps ON or headlamps ON positions.
After 10 minutes.
Headlamp Switch
The headlamp switch is a multi-position switch.
The positions include OFF, PARK, and HEAD.
With the headlamp switch in the PARK position (first detent), a signal is supplied to the LCM which powers the front parking lamps, the tail lamps, the side marker lamps, and the license lamp.
With the headlamp switch in the HEAD position, power is supplied to the headlamps through the LCM and the multifunction switch.
The panel dim switch (part of the headlamp switch) is located above the headlamp switch. The panel dim switch operates only with the parking lamps or headlamps on.
When the panel dim switch is held in the up position, the instrument panel lighting will progressively brighten.
When the panel dim switch is held in the down position, the instrument panel lighting will progressively dim.
For additional information, refer to Section 413-00 .
Headlamps On Warning Chime
If the headlamp switch is left in either the PARK or HEAD position and the driver door is opened, the LCM will sound a headlamps on reminder chime when the following conditions occur:
The ignition switch is OFF with the ignition key out.
The driver door is ajar.
For additional information, refer to Section 413-09 .
Inspection and Verification
Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.
firstly make all the bulbs glow in the indicator segment. this will moderate the flasher speed as due to even one bulb fused, causes other bulbs to glow at high rate.

Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
CAUTION
Be sure that the electrical contact of the turn signal and multifunction switch assembly (2) rests on the turn signal cancel cam assembly.

When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must be disabled. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling . Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR components, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.
are you sure bulbs are good ?? double check bulbs also make sure there is a ground wire from your light fixture is grounded to the body near by this might be causing your problem .. usually if front ones blink fast rear bulbs are bad ... thanks Jerry holler if you need more.
Is anything else not working? have you checked all your connections to make sure nothing got unplugged?
