hello all im having a problem with a 6cyl au falcon the horn stopped working and around the same time the cruise control also stopped working (no light on dash) but if u touch near the horn the cruise control would work then that atopped as well as in the horn trick stopped working for cruise control then one of the indicators started flashing very fast after a while the other side did exactly the same thing ive checked the brake lights and fuses and all seems good there ive also checked the indicator globes for any shorts but nadda could it possibly be the clock spring ??????
cheers in advance |

most likely 2 faults
indicators -check switch - globes -wiring/connectors cruise control/horn sounds like a clockspring fault |

Clockspring is what it will be. Had to replace these on an EF or AU one time. Steering wheel off job, but not too bad, just remove air bag fuse 5 minutes before you do anything, and all should be good.

this exact same thing has just happened to me.
how much is it likely to cost to have the clockspring replaced? |

I was taking apart the switchgear, clockspring, etc, in my BF Tornado a couple of weeks ago.
No idea how similar it might be to your AU, but I took a bunch of photos that might be of some use. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...29#post5364229

well i replaced the clock spring.
cruise worked normally for about a week. then the mrs used the horn... horn sounded sick then stopped only to randomly start up later on, had to disconnect the horn to shut it up. now the cruise will only turn on while pushing the horn pad again. seems like it might be the horn pad that's buggered. does anyone know if there is any difference between series 1 and 2/3 horn pads? or can i use any. |

there is two press buttons that slide into the wheel behind the pad , replace them and see how you go.

just a quick update.
picked up a horn pad/airbag from the wreckers for $30 out of an 02 model. put it and and everything seems back in order. i will see how it goes, as when i did the clockspring everything was working fine at first too. i have my suspicions as to weather disconnecting the battery reset something and cleared it only for the problem to return soon after. |
