You'll have to replace the cam. See post #9 of the following link for a pic:

When I pulled the wheel for my car I found mine was broken but someone had hot glued the wire in, was in pretty tight.

Re: Horn button contact sleeve help?

Now can a new reproduction cam be purchased or is that a more junk yard type of piece?
Again the info you have provided is very useful

Re: Horn button contact sleeve help?

I just changed my steering wheel and horn button and realized that clip was missing but the horn wire is firmly stuck in the column, the horn button that I took out was a glued together mess so who knows if it will work, guess I'll find out when I get the engine put back in and have a battery again.
