This shows how to install all of the parts in the steering wheel to get the horn button working properly. Also see my blog post at nick.blog/2018/06/24/1968-72-c...
Thanks so much. This was very helpful. I have a 68 c10 too. When I replaced the turn signal switch, my horn stopped working correctly. This finally helped me figure out what was wrong.
Ok,I got the horn button working and activating the relay but I can't figure out which wire goes to the horn,itself. This truck had a cheapo button on the dash wired directly to the horn. Any ideas?
I made similar washers from watching the video. That took care of the lack of 'slack" so to speak and allows the button to be bushed down now. However I still cannot get the horn to engage unless i take the screw out and shove a screwdriver or something metal touching the spring plate the center threads of the column. I obviously have something not playing well together, not sure what it is though. my washer and nut do not make contact with anything metal. Please advise, thanks
Great video, very helpful. What is the job of those spacers you made why did you need them and are they electrically insulating anything--if so why doesn't original equipment have them? I'm trying to understand why what you call the spring disk doesn't make contact with the cup all the time? Or to put it differently specifically what functions here as an open electrical switch and what closes it to ground the horn relay? Thanks
The spacers I made were needed in my configuration to add space. :-) Otherwise the horn button was already all the way in and I couldn't actually press it to do anything. This also meant that the horn was randomly triggering. Double bad. Check out the piece at 4:10 in the video, that gets pressed down and is the switch.
Not sure if you're still looking for the answer but I've been working on a '76 CJ-7 since the horn assembly is of the same parts. I found this video very helpful (thanks, btw Nick!), since back in the day when vehicles were made, many designs were universal despite the manufacturer. If the parts and the order of installation were all the same, on my CJ-7, once the signal cancelling cam is installed, I have a anti-theft locking plate that goes next onto the column shaft (the plate that locks the steering wheel when the ignition key is removed).
They only use a lock plate with a column that has the key cylinder on the side. The one shown is key w/ignition switch on the dash. Your actual ignition switch is toward the bottom, operated by a rod. ASE Master Tech since 1978, Retired
Ok,I bought the kit from LMC Truck but they apparently don't sell the nice shiny button or the rubber grommet that goes on it. Where did you get those?
@@robert.williford527 The only thing I had to buy was the correct size metal cup. Everything else was in a box of parts from the guy I bought my truck from. If you call LMC Truck they should be able to help you out or there are several other places that sell parts for these trucks like classicparts.com and brotherstrucks.com. Good luck!
Lmc truck is junk I have received three broken horn buttons from them anybody else know where a guy can get these parts for a 70 Chevy that haven’t been put in a washing machine for 10 hours

Thank you! Was struggling with my ‘71 and this video solved my issues in 5 minutes. Appreciate it!

Thanks for sharing , I need the taller horn button cup .Cheers my friend 🍻
Thanks! This video was a huge help to me as a novice getting my 1969 Rambler center horn reassembled!
Awesome! I'm a novice as well so figured others would benefit from not being as confused as I was.
To answer my own question,it's the green wire that goes to the relay. Now I just gotta get the button to work every time , easily. Thanks again.
Good show Nick, however when using all OEM materials, its a bit different process. God bless your work!
Anyone know if this will fit on a cherokee

One other thing are the screws fully tightened?

@@davidtuniman1431 You can't tighten them too much or you risk breaking the plastic.
Ok, got the horn “working” but I have to hit it just right, also horn sometimes honks when I turn the wheel, especially in reverse. Any ideas? Thanks
Sounds like your spacing isn't set properly between the different pieces, causing and/or preventing electrical contact at the wrong times.
Where did you buy the taller metal cup? LMC doesn’t seem to have it. Thanks! 🔧
classicparts.com
Nick Momrik I appreciate it Nick! 🔧
Tall horn cup (approx 1") is from 67-72 trucks. the short cup (approx 3/4") is 64-66. This was a goreat video Nick
Well you kind of left out the part when you put it all together which is what most people need to see
thanks nick, did you have a lock plate over the cancelling cam?
Not that I recall.

How are you? Can I ask you where to buy the Horn Button Install Kit? Thanks!
LMC Truck sells kits.
