As you see from the pic the plastic tube where the spring and contact pin is gone. Yep, I broke the top half that the retainer turns into.
Is there a replacement for that plastic tube or is it a part of another part that you get to by pulling the wheel.
It is possible that the plastic cover that goes over the U clip can be old and break easily.
IF it breaks...your horn will blow continuously until it either drains the battery or melts the horn relay due to excessive heat in it. AND...it can also heat up and damage the sporing in the upper contact in the photo below
Thanks for the info. I have the lower contact part ordered. When I replace that will I need to check lower in the collum or should the horn function?
When you get the column down to the point that you can remove the part you are replacing. The end of the spring on what you are replacing makes contact with the lower horn contact.
If you take a wire and touch the brass portion of that lower horn contact and put it to a good ground point...you horn should blow.
