  • On this Chevy Pickup, customer says the horn isn't working. I find a crucial part missing and another broken. Can I fix it ?

    This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! (though I wasn't trying to buy a tool I may only need *ONCE* in my life)

    Love your video on the turn signal cam mine was broke the same, drilled out a notch with the 16th drill bit, but that's not my problem right now put it all back together except the spring-loaded wire and somehow the turn signal cam is intermittently contacting and setting the horn off as the steering wheel is moved, too much pressure on the nut? Not really I've backed it off it's still doing it. I need to get back driving so I disconnected the horn, find out there's two horns can't find the passenger horn yet 🤣 what a bummer to go through all of this to change the ignition switch and I'm dealing with horn issues that have nothing to do with a wire spring and cap. So I absolutely loved your thorough video on this so much that I have responded with this noticing that you're pretty active 6 minutes ago

    I've always known that spring to be called a "clock spring" had one break on a 74 Buick Electra 225 back in 1987, went to buy one and that's when I found out what it was called. Haven't seen one break since.

      I've never heard that part referred to a a "clock spring" before . Clock springs have always been the spiral wound ribbon wire used in air bag systems . Dorman 49319 is listed as a "Horn Wire Lead" . Which is what this spring loaded contact is . Hope this helps you out !! Thanks for watching !!

    Mr. Kenny! I'm working on my 1993 K1500 suburban, which has a very similar setup to the installation vehicle in this video, including the horn button and steering wheel setup but mine has an additional "guard assembly" that goes over that locking wheel. I needed to replace the turn signal cam as mine also had a broken tube for that horn wire, causing my horn not to work. While I was in there and had the locking ring off, I changed the turn signal switch with a genuine GM assembly as the original one looked brittle. Now it's back together and while the horn works, it also blows when I turn the wheel at 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock... even with the horn button off the wheel. Horn is silent at 12 o'clock unless the horn button is pressed. I pulled it back apart and couldn't find anything out of place to cause a grounding issue. Before I pull it apart again, any suggestions? Perhaps the new turn signal assembly spring is grounding on the cancel cam. The multi-function switch is also original to the car, but that couldn't affect this, could it? Thanks!'

    Welp I got the nut off of my 84 k10 eventually. The bolt and nut holding the steering wheel are stripped. I tried to use a 9/16 die to save it but there isn’t enough metal left. Any ideas?

    • @WrenchingWithKenny
      @WrenchingWithKenny  ปีที่แล้ว

      You'll need a friend , a brass drift and a heavy hammer. Sit in the truck and grab the wheel , Leave the nut on about half way (This will prevent you from eating the steering wheel in the next step). Have you're friend take the brass drift and place it on the shaft. You pull back really hard on the wheel and have your friend strike the brass drift , hitting the steering shaft. This may take a few tries , but it does work .

      Its called a "Steering Lock Plate Depressor" or "Steering Wheel Lock Plate Tool" . A cost friendly one is available from Amazon (Like $20) . I think Id get the one made by Lisle instead of a Chinese knock off

    Trick for those without the special tool, that I always use.... Push down the lock ring, hard, with both thumbs at opposite sides. Once pushed down as far as you can make it go, lift ONE thumb, keeping the other pushing hard a heck....this will "cock" the lock wheel just enough to help you hold it long enough to use a small screwdriver to lift the clop out of its groove.... Then release.
    Reassemble by same means.
    Hard to fo, but has never failed me.
