Hi gang,
I have a 99 SVT Contour and have been having some small problems lately.
Ever since I have owned the car the horn has intermittantly worked (through pressing the steering wheel and also with factory alarm engagement). Recently the Cruise Control stopped working too.
I started scanning the Haynes manual and noticed that these 2 circuits come together on the steering wheel at a part called the "clockspring". I took the wire for the horn off of the connector at the steering wheel and grounded it to chassis, the horn worked as advertised, thus leading me to believe this clockspring is the culprit and may also fix my cruise control.
I was wondering if anyone has ever replaced this clockspring for the same problem and if it worked for them? Is it a pain also to change, and is it readily available/inexpensive from Ford.
Thanks,
Bob
