MY first guess would b a ground problem-when U push the horn pad ,U are appling a ground-& there is a small ground clip on the steering coupler.IF te fuses are good. the air bag clock spring in the stearing coloum is open I had the same problem. check cruise control disconnect switch for power located on brake master cylinder. mine was burnt along with connecting wiring. new switch with wiring about $20. some model years have a recall currently. Most steering columns have a part known as a clock spring. This component has the electrical contacts which power the horn, cruise control and on some models... other electrical items. The part is generally between $50 and $100 from a dealer, but is difficult to replace due to the air bag and wheel having to be removed. I can't guarantee that's what is wrong, but it is the best guess... It seems the Windstar and Aerostars ar bad for this.

Is the clock spring and cruise control on the same electrical circuit on a 97 windstar?
The clock spring allows you to turn the steering wheel without disconnecting the wiring to the cruise control buttons and horn in your steering wheel If your horn and cruise control don't work the clockspring is probably broken ( P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician but my money would be on that guess )
Abs light is On speed odometer is at 0 mileage is at --------- no cruise control is this the vehicle speed sensor on a Ford Windstar 2000?
Your Windstar is subject to a Ford recall for the cause of this problem.The cause is a leaking brake pressure sensor screwed into the bottom of the master cylinder.I would suggest contacting your Ford dealer confirm your van is covered (I believe every single Windstar is part of the recall), and arrange for the quick and easy repair.See "Related Questions" below for more
