FORD: 1989-90 THUNDERBIRD

LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1989-90 COUGAR


ISSUE: High effort may be required when depressing the horn pad to sound the horn. This is caused by a steering wheel horn pad that is too stiff in low ambient temperatures. The stiff horn pad may not allow the horn contacts to close.



ACTION: Install a new horn pad made from urethane material. This improves low temperature flexibility and reduces the horn blowing effort. Refer to the 1989/90 Thunderbird/Cougar Shop Manual, Section 35-80, for service details.
