Three problems related to horn assembly have been reported for the 1998 Ford Ranger. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Truck was parked at the veterinarian and I had gone inside with my two dogs. After about 15 or 20 minutes someone outside was blowing there car horn. The receptionist looked out and then told me my truck was on fire. I ran outside and smoke and flames were coming out from under the hood. We used fire extinguishers but that did very little. The fire truck got there and got the fire put out. They cut the hood open to make sure the fire was out.
I have had 3 door switches replaced on my Ranger due to the "door ajar" light coming on. I have also talked to other people w/fords and they have had the same problem. My dome light will stay on, as does the door ajar light and sometimes the horn starts blowing.
4- wheel drive has quit working, it has only been used 3-4 times. Also horn has failed, cause unknown. Please provide further information.
