Default plastic insulator???

It's called the snap ring horn contact retainer.

And they are very brittle, just sneeze on it and it disintegrates. I believe they are still available through GM, think that is where I got mine.

One of the tabs broke on mine during a turn signal replacement. I just crazy glued it back on. Very brittle. The OP will need a new one though.
