Looking For Help With Horn Issue
Permalink  

Hi Gents,

Does anybody have an exploded diagram of the steering wheel assembly for a 1966 SD Beaumont... it has the deluxe steering wheel and I am having a hard time getting the horn to work properly. If I make contact with the metal ring(Concave side down) to the steering wheel nut I get horn(I am assuming it acts as a ground) ....but once the wheel is all installed nothing. I know its probably something simple but its working me over.furiousfuriousfuriousfurious

Suggestions, tips??

 

Thanks

Kevin

......sounds like maybe you are missing the spring loaded contact pin or it has a broken wire. ????

Have you tried flipping the concave steel disc? I thought they went the other way. But it's been a while.

Good morning!!

Got her figured....the contact post that goes through the wheel to the cancel cam was in a hole and not making contact with the concave side of the metal ring. I also decided to put all the parts that came with the vintage wheel back on it instead of the new parts incase there was a difference in the dimensions/tolerances.
Thanks for your help guys!!

That's what this site is all about....sharing knowledge and fostering growth for the car community!
Next project...get the wiper fluid motor pumping and figure out why the wipers are moving slowly.

On a negative note...the clothes dryer crapped out this morning and I have to go fix that now...oh well. Such is life.

Cheers,
Kevin

 I have to do that sometime also Kevin.

There is a tiny kit with o-rings, a plastic housing, and diaphragm that you can get cheap if it's the root of the problem and not the motor itself.
