An old thread, but a new problem. I'm missing something here. Have a 46 Chevy. Problem is the horn wire from the steering wheel.
Horn when I bot it was activated by a button strapped on the outside of the steering mast. toss that.
Has a wire coming out of bottom of the steering mast, already cut off and not connected to anything.
I understand the circuitry grounding and all.
I got the horn button assembly, spring etc, and steering wheel off
Was a bell shaped spacer between the steering wheel and the steering mast, got that off.
Bearing was there, spline shaft, no horn wire.
So I guess the horn wire is attached to the back of that bearing.
What I don't understand is how pushing the horn button grounds anything. Seems to me that the bearing (to which I think the wire is attached), thru the steering shaft, thru the steering gear is already grounded. So it looks to me like the wire (and bearing) is grounded all the time, which can't be.
What am I missing?
