Steering wheel horn hookup

silverriff · 02-25-2008, 05:37 AM

After going through the electrical system on my 1972 cutlass, I found the horns were not working because the steering wheel is not hooked up to them. After looking through the assembly manual, it looks like I am missing the "switch", that spring looking thing plugged into the steering cloumn with the 2 leads to the wheel itself. I found in YearOne(?) they have the switch itself, but it does not have the 2 leads. Do I have to fab the wires up myself? Does anyone know where I can get the whole assembly? Help!

look in the parts for sale forum.
2blu442 has many complete steering columns for sale.
Everyone loves extras, right?

Thats something I may do in the future. Right now I'm just trying to find the little contact I need. Ive been searching the parts websites, but all of them just have the spring assembly, with no wires. Would I just have to rig up some wires to it? I can find anything that includes them.
