Horn issues
So I have a 70 Cutlass with a sport wheel, it's missing the infamous" horn button", but when I plug the horn into the harness, they blow constantly. I pulled the steering wheel and removed the locking plate the horns stop blowing, as soon as I put the plate on and push it down just enough to get the ring on it makes contact again, and the horns are blaring again, are the horns set in a reverse ground system? Will getting a Horn button and installing solve this problem? Thanks for any help you all may lend to me.

As far as I know it's on correctly, I'm asking about the gasket, because I see them new online with like a black plastic ring around the top of the cam? Kind of a hard thing to know considering the column may have been gone into before, thanks for the response guys.

Locking plate appears to be correct but, I believe the cancelling cam has to have that gasket to prevent the grounding out, I looked a non tilt cam and the tabs are recessed which prevent them from making contact to the locking plate. Looks like someone may have put a newer cancelling cam which the tabs a not recessed which makes them touch the locking plate..... the pain of following behind someone else work.. I see on the internet photos of other newer model locking plates and those tabs are exposed thus no contact to the locking plate. so apparently no gasket is needed on this one.

It does thank you, looks like the locking plate may be incorrect on my column I'm questioning if it's even a olds column looks like it maybe a Chevy column do there in lies some of my problems. I did make a plastic gasket and placed under the locking plate and problems have gone away. I just really hate to rig things up would love to fix it properly. I definitely appreciate all you guys trying to assist me. Nothing like the "Olds" family.

Lol guess I can throw that theory out the window thanks for the information . On to the next theory I guess or just may leave well enough alone. We will see when I get the horn stuff, if it works ,I will just leave it be.
