Call the Ford owners hotline listed in your Ford booklet and ask them directly. The horn is a safety device required by law in many states so the lack of a working horn could cause you to fail a safety inspection and may cause you to be deemed at fault in an accident. You really should not drive the coach on any trip without a working horn.

Regards,

It's God's way of telling you that you need a big ass horn, and not the Ford sqeeqers, to keep the idiots off your front bumper. Theres nothing more satisfying than watching the day dreamer in front of you scraping his head off the headliner after you remind him not to nod off.

I wonder how many drunks would suddenly drive off the road thinking they somehow managed to drive onto the railroad tracks?

My horn quit 3 years ago on my ford chassis (2005 Southwind) went to check it and it had come off somewhere down the road. In 5 years that and a front in alighnment at 18000 is all that has broke.
