SOURCE: Engine misfiring

It could be you have a bad distributor ar bad spark plugs. It is also a possibility that the cars computer was programmed wrongly. Either way I would suggest going to a Ford Repair shop and having them run a systems check on the computer to properly diagnose what is happening.

SOURCE: 2005 Ford Escape XLT 4WD - Overdrive light blinking...

The overdrive light blinking means that a fault code has been stored in the computer, this can be for many different reasons. The car isn't actually turning overdrive on and off, it is just a way to alert you of a problem. Getting the computer scanned will provide a fault code eg. P(XXXX) if you can get this code I can help you further. -Jared

SOURCE: 2005 Ford Escape - Door Open Indication Light & Horn Alarm Sounds

This is probably caused by:

a loose door switch, or

a loose connection to a door switch, or

a defective (dirty / corroded) door switch.

There is a false signal being sent that a door is open / ajar.

Truck won't start but the horn honks when I turn the key.

Sound like a wire loose. could be the earth cable to the engine, or the main power cable from the battery to the fuse box/ignition switch/starter.

2005 ford escape need alarm sensor location

This is not like an aftermarket alarm. It is built into the main computer and uses both the horn and the lights to sound a warning. The keyswitch has a reader and the ignition key must match the frequency recorded in the brain of the vehicle. It also kills the power to the starter and some even kill the ignition.

A shorted Battery will trigger the alarm, so have it fully tested. The reader and the wiring to the brain could also have a break in them, triggering the system. Sometimes worn ignition switches will lose contact with the key inside the switch.

The alarm is engineered to render the car immobile if tampered with. But a Dealer can Electronically recode a new Chip key to match

Horn not working on a 2006 ford f250 xlt

The cause of this is not the horn or fuse in most cases, it is caused by the rotating contact that connects the horn button, in order to repair this you will need a new clock-spring contact, to install the airbag must be disarmed, his has to be done by the book or serious injury can result.
