Consumer Description

THE HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL DO NOT WORK. ACCORDING TO MANY WEBSITE POSTINGS THE TWO ARE RELATED. EVIDENTLY THERE IS A SO CALLED "SPRING CLIP" IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT NEEDS REPLACING- COST IS AROUND 300.00. THIS IS QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE F-SERIES PICKUPS. I CAN PUT A FUSE IN AND IT WILL SHORT WHEN I USE THE HORN.*AK
