Mine is now completely shot. All I care about is the horn and mine still works when I use the remote lock.

Will one off of any panther work as far as the horn is concerned?

I know there are 3 connections in the bottom. Which color one is for the horn?

Thanks!!!

Im still new to the Marauders but not cars in general so ill take a stab at this one. The steering column in these cars appears to be no different than a stock GM or CV so i would bet that they are interchangeable. That kinda safety stuff has to go through pretty rigorous testing to be approved for use in production cars now granted a lot of things were changed to make the car a Marauder but for cost reasons and testing i really don't see them making a Marauder specific unit and spending the money on R&D for a limited run variant of an already off the shelf kinda car. Hopefully someone with experience can chime in though.

Dom, according to the tascaparts site, only a clockspring from a 2003-2004 CV/GM/MM/TC will directly interchange, but that doesn't mean another year won't fit and work the horn.

Horn appears to be on C2026, a white one with 6 pins...sorry, I haven't had one apart to see if that helps.

Still learning the generations of the panther cars. Im coming over from the ranger community and I know Ford is pretty consistent with those so id imagine it carries over to their other product lines. So it would appear 03-04 was a generation of the panther platform so stick to those years and you should be good to go. Also if they are similar to other ford steering columns that i have had apart the clock spring should only directly control the airbag and horn from what I've seen cruise control and steering controls tend to have their own harnesses.
