Re: firewall thingie

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Either the switch is loose, or something is out of alignment enough to let 
the large snap ring (the cancel cam) on the back of the wheel touch the horn 
contact (little wheel on a spring post of the t/s switch). You can try to 
insulate them from one another. It's also possible that you're shorting that 
contact to the column elsewhere else (under the switch?).

My horn just started beeping as I turn the wheel or tap the turn
signal lever the wrong way, if I take it apart is there something I
can fix without replacing parts?
