Steering column cruise sliding contacts with labeled key-in warn…

'92-93 Cruise & Horn Sliding Contacts, also used on '94-98 over 8500GVWR



In '94, these contacts were replaced (on trucks under 8500GVWR) by the clock spring, which provides more a consistent connection for the airbag. But Ford retained the name "sliding contact" to refer to the clock spring, even though it was specifically built to eliminate them.

The key-in contact commonly breaks, causing the chime to sound constantly. On '94-95 trucks with factory THEFT, it also causes the horn to sound & parking lights to flash. It's easy to re-secure with a zip tie.
