Yes, I checked the fuses ---

check the wiring. ---

I checked the wiring also. I moved all the wiring around and pushed the horn at the same time. ---

If the wire has at some point been chewed by a mouse, moving it around isn’t going to help. You need to put a multimeter lead on the horn switch (remove the steering wheel) and a lead at the other end where the horn is to guarantee continuity. But before you do that, I would check the fuse again, and maybe replace the appropriate one even if it doesn’t look like it’s blown. ---

Is The Cruise In The Steering Wheel ? I’d Suspect A Broken “Clock Spring”. CSA ---

I don’t know if those two circuits are tied to a common fuse or not but if they are then I would check for a power lead connection problem. If they have seperate power sources then the trouble may be a bad connection in the steering column area. ---

It’s the clockspring. That is the common circuit. You will also soon get an SRS fault light. ---
