99 Eddie Bauer AWD No Horn, No Cruise Control,ABS Light On

[mhersh2356]

Need Help! First my Cruise Control stopped working. Then the Horn stopped working. Now the ABS light is constantly on and the check engine light is on showing a PO500 code. Also my rear wiper motor lost power. I have replaced both front hubs and we think the connections are fine. Is there a relay or control module that handles all these or do I have multiple issues? 1999 Explorer Eddie Bauer AWD 277,000 Miles. Thanks!

As for the horn, cruise and ABS light, it sounds like that may all be related to a broken clockspring in the steering wheel. Got a '97 XLT myself, and no manual for it, but this happened to me with my '94 F150 a ways back. I was able to cut off the broken piece, re-make the fold, re-center the clockspring and reinstall the wheel. That was several years ago, and it has even survived being in my son's possession for a while.

Thanks MillerAPF97XLT. I will look into that clock spring lead. Just today the heater control module went bad and I lost all the coolant of course. Luckily it happened in front of a friend's house so we went and got a new one at the parts store and that was a quick fix. It's never is that easy is it? Right on top of the motor and very easy to fix. Then I scored BIG at a junk yard today with a .........PERFECT center console lid! How hard are they to find????? $15 bucks later and it was installed on my truck. Lucky day today! Now back to the original problem.
