Horn at steering wheel

[bobbo]

Does this look right?  Got a new wire today.  Horn still doesn’t blow ?? And 2nd pic what connects yo the female spade barely sticking out? 
thx much

Clean your brass slip ring and make sure the button has a good contact.

That button should be spring-loaded. Check to see if it is gummed-up and sticking.

Is your horn relay tab #86 energized when the ignition is "on"?

If so, then check the ground continuity through the steering wheel.

I recently installed my brass ring.

I think yours is pushed back from where it should be sitting..

 

[bobbo]

Interested. Yes it does. Thx. 

[bobbo]

So does the black wire with spring just sit it the hole ?? Lol

Looks to me that the carbon brush and holder is installed on the wrong side of the wheel it needs to be pushed into the ring to make a ground in the picture it's just floating.

[John76]

Yep... @Son of Marty is right-on.

Button gets pushed into the wheel from behind.

Just to confirm, take your button and ground it to the steering wheel with the ign. "on".

You should get a HONK.

[bobbo]

Thx!  I will try that.

There is a lip on the black plastic piece that prevents it from being push down into the hole ?? Is it the wrong wire for my wheel?

Here is another for my car looks the same as mine with the lip. What the heck?  
 

[bobbo]

The only solution is to grind the lip down so I can slide it the hole. But that can’t be right. I’m stumped. 

[bobbo]

Duh!!  Got it. The entire wire needs to be fished through the back of wheel into the hole. Not intuitive at all. 
thx to all for helping me out!!

That harness is missing one more set of connectors on the wire from the carbon holder that my original harness has so the only the carbon holder wire has to be fed through the hole from the back side.

[bobbo]

That would seem correct. My harness has the carbon piece attached to the spade connector as one continuous wire. Exactly like this one.
