Well I'm trying to get my car good enough to pass the state inspection that expires this month, and all I need now is to get the horn up and working. The horn itself works since I somehow got it to honk while pressing down the clip on the steering wheel with a screwdriver . So I'm asumming it's most likely the horn contact so I ordered one from Modern Day Muscle and I just got it yesterday. What I can't figure out is where it goes or how to place it in the steering wheel. The car came like this (picture attached) when I bought the car so I have no idea how its suppose to look in there.

Anyway anyhelp would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

You will have to remove the wheel. You will need 2 special tools. A steering wheel puller and a lock plate remover. The tools can be purchased or rented at Autozone for about $25.

Where is conroe?

 

, I'll probably go do this today since I'm bored here all day .

Oh and Conroe is just north of Houston, near Woodlands, Montgomery, Cleveland, if any of those sound familiar.

 

Do you see where the metal strap comes down to the upper left side of the steering shaft? The horn contact is a short metal post under that strap. The other end of the contact is inserted into the turn signal cancel cam like any other thirdgen.

But the contact isn't your problem. And here's why. The horn pad pushes down on the strips around the center of the steering wheel. When the strips touch each other they connect the circuit. By touching your screwdriver to the steering shaft and the strip you completed the circuit, bypassing the steering wheel.

So the contacts on your steering column are dirty, or your horn pad isn't pushign down the tabs like it's supposed to.
