item.
Steering wheel to shroud interfer-
ence.
Power steering system grinding
noise – an abrasive noise (like
sand paper rubbing against
wood) occurs between moving
components such as steering
wheel and the steering column
shroud. Certain amount of noise level
acceptable, not a safety critical
item.

Power Steering Zip Noise
Action
Possible Sources
Symptom
Certain amount of noise level
acceptable, not a safety critical
item.
High viscosity of power steering
fluid at low temperature.
Power steering system zip noise
– occurs when hydraulic fluid
does not flow freely through the
power steering pump supply hose
from steering fluid reservoir to
power steering pump causing
cavitation at the pump. Zip is
primarily a cold weather start-up
phenomenon (below -10°C). BLEED the power steering
system.

System Vacuum Bleeding (211-
00 Steering System - General
Information, General Proced-
ures).

Horn
Principles of Operation
The horn system consists of a relay, a steering
wheel switch and either one or two horns. The
horn(s) receives voltage from the switched side of
the relay, and the relay switch is controlled on its
ground side by the steering wheel switch.
The horn relay, is located in the Battery junction
box (BJB) and is supplied with a permanent voltage
from the battery.
The steering wheel horn switch shares the steering
wheel clockspring circuit with the air-bag circuit.
Each of these systems work completely
independent of each other.
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern.
2.
Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical
or electrical damage.

• Wiring harness
• Electrical connector(s)

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the diagnostic tab within
the Ford approved diagnostic tool. G1055042en
