More GRant Steering Wheel Horn problems

[ho70]

Have a 72 tilt column with a olds steering wheel. Bought a classic Grant wheel and the 3163 installation kit. Followed directions and 67-72 links and used the small spring from the signal cancel cam in the grant unit. Horn is always on. Replaced 5 times. Tried Grant spring and same. The contact plate button is not contacting but the horn always blows. Any ideas. It seems the grant 'brass' plunger is too large.

I've dealt with my fair share of Grant horn problems and hadn't figured it out before my truck was torn down, but I can tell you this: metal IS touching somewhere. There are little tricks I've heard of like, lining the metal hole that the brass plunger/sleeve slides into to prevent side to side contact. I couldn't tell you what, just internet banter I've read. I don't want this to sound insulting, but understanding the mechanism itself is a great way to figure out the problem. When I first looked at it, I thought... just follow the directions and i'll have a working horn in a half hour. 2 hours later I have a horn that honks whenever it feels like it. It helped me to tear it down and build it back up to understand HOW it works. Best of luck to you, I know it's a bummer.
