Proper horn button installation??
 
I've never had a horn button in my 68 beofre. either i just ran a hot wire from a hot post to a button on the dash and then to the horn and HONK there you go or on the new 68 just use a scredriver and cross that little springy thing to the center and HONK.

I break down and buy a horn button from the jnk yard. 5.00 and all the stuff under the button

I got the button, little bowl looking thingy, the plastic ring, the 3 screws that hold that down and that little fierce looking disc that goes below that.

I put them in that order and a short keeps happening from the bowl to the nut that holds the wheel down. what's the missing factor here??

thanks sswj

Damn mine doesn't work either!!!!! :lol: 'Course mine's the '70 style wheel with the plastic cap. When I push the button it pops back like it should but there's something not making contact inside. I DO know that if you tighten the three screws on that plastic thing down too tight it won't release and it will stay shorted.

what style wheel is it? i have all the horn workings to the 3 spoke style

Just put the horn togather on my son,s Blazer. Here's how it goes:
1--wafer spring in 1st-cup side UP (outside edge rides on plastic part of wheel-hence no ground)-3 holes lined up with 3 screw holes.
2--metal cup with plastic insulator inside.
3--put metal cup with plastic insulator legs thru holes in wafer spring.
4--install 3 screws and tighten.
5--touch battery cable back to battery post (you did remove it before you started didn't you?). If horn blows lossen screws a little and center the wafer spring where it goes around the steering shaft nut.
6--If this does not work don't blame me, blame MURPHY
