Horn contact intermittent

#1 Post by Steve Nau »

The horn contact that plugs into the side of the steering column on my 56 coupe is working intermittently. I replaced the internal piece and have cleaned the end where it contacts the steering column. Any suggestions for the cause of this?

Since you changed the contact on the column, I'd look at the horn button and ground wire to it.

I believe the button is working correctly. I have tested it repeatedly. When I jiggle the contact on the column it works for awhile. Just not consistent.
