Horn Button - 68 SWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jwbchevy502 · 08-01-2011, 09:11 PM

Just installed an ididit tilt wheel, steering wheel hub, and steering wheel all from CPP. Everythign went extremely well and fit like a glove like almost evrything I have gotten from those guys. My issue is the horn button. Two problems - one, the horn button will not stay in the wheel (There is an o-ring but no fastner, clip or retainer to hold it in place), the second issue is the horn itself. Checked the relay it works fine when I jump it. I have 12V to the relay and no apparent open circuit to the ground and horn side of the relay as well. Any ideas out there I should would appreciate it. I'm 99% complete with my build and would like to wrap this interior up. Any help would be greatly appreciated on both issues.

He may have the horn switch plate on backwards.

What kind of steering wheel is it? Get us some pics of the wheel and horn button. We may be able to tell more by looking at it.
