HORN - HIGH EFFORTS TO DEPRESS PAD - NON-SPORT STEERING WHEEL


FORD: 1989-91 THUNDERBIRD

LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1989-91 COUGAR


ISSUE: High efforts may be required when depressing the horn pad to sound the horn. This is caused by the steering wheel horn pad material being too stiff.

ACTION: Install a new 1992 modified horn pad made of softer material which reduces the horn blowing effort. Refer to the 1989/91 Service Manual, Section 35-80, for service details.


NOTE: BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN STYLE OF THE MODIFIED 1992 HORN PAD, THE CUSTOMER HAS THE OPTION TO REQUEST AN EXACT REPLACEMENT OF THE ORIGINAL HORN PAD WHICH WAS IMPROVED FROM THE EARLY PRODUCTION HORN PADS.
