• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford threaded fastener that secures the high note horn to its mounting bracket behind the front fascia. Ford catalogs it as High Note Horn Screw, and like most W prefix hardware it is a shared service fastener applied across a broad span of Ford car, truck, SUV and van platforms rather than a single model line, appearing in the horn and bracket illustration for late model applications from the 2008 model year forward. The horn is a vibrating diaphragm device that is bolted rigidly to a steel bracket, and the fastener that holds it there is a load bearing part of that assembly, not an afterthought. If the screw is missing, backed out, or its threads are stripped or corroded, the horn will buzz, rattle or drone instead of producing a clean tone, it can hang from its wiring pigtail and short against the bumper structure, and it can be shaken free entirely on rough roads. Buyers usually need this screw after front end collision repair, after bumper cover removal for headlamp or radiator work, or after a rusted original snaps during disassembly. Use the correct genuine fastener rather than a generic substitute, because thread pitch, shank length and head style are specified to clamp the horn bracket without cracking the mounting boss. Tighten to the specification for the mounting location and verify the horn tone after install.
