Horn Problems J, K, others? - reply

[John Hertog <crossram@xxxx>]

Hi Russ,

Sounds like your problem is with the copper grounding strap that provides
ground to the actual shaft itself. This copper "sheet" wraps around the
rubber steering insulator that fits between box and shaft, and grounds the
shaft to the box.

Solution is removal of outer jacket of steering column, and examination of
the end of shaft where it meets box. Probably a good idea to replace the
rubber steering insulator same time, as it is probably shot or falling
apart...

Hi All,

I spent some time playing '63 horn repair this weekend and have reached a
dead end. Everything in the system tests fine until I get to the steering
shaft. It doesn't provide the ground that the relay needs. If I take the
horn ring cap off and ground the shaft, everything works great. Put a meter
on the shaft and I get no continuity anywhere. Anybody had this problem and
if so, got a solution they'd care to share?

Thanks & 300ly
