Broken horn contact

[guidoverduci]

Hello! Finally got around to swapping out my steering wheel and I figured out why my horn doesn’t work! The contact piece was broken off inside. Any suggestions on how to fix this one besides buying a new turn signal switch?

That's a tough one, either way I think you'll have to pull the switch to really work on it.

I'm pretty sure the contact is just held in place by the wiring on the back end, if you can get everything lined back up you might be able to solder it back together or peen the contact over the terminal.

Be careful reinstalling the switch, those wires are awfully easy to pinch in there.

I had a similar issue, I ended up replacing the entire assembly. It was about $30. If your MY has the C clip that holds the steering column in place, I 'think' you can remove/replace the wiring without messing around with the shift collar/steering column.

If you go the @armynavy17 route, there 'should be' enough wire to pull out the assembly about 4" - 5" to try to repair.
