Hello all,

I need some help, please!

Ok, so I bought a new steering wheel for my truck, because my factory wheel looked a bit rough, considering the rest of the inside of the cab looks pretty nice. The new wheel arrived and right off, I noticed that the hole where the horn contact and bushing would install, this new wheel already had a black plastic sleeve so, I removed the horn contact and spring from the factory bushing and installed it into the sleeve in the new wheel.

Just to point out, I did not replace my original horn button retainer, so I reused it. There was some flash in the sleeve so I made sure the horn contact and spring was moving freely within the sleeve and installed the horn button retainer, reattached my positive cable on the battery, and the horn honks continously.

I know this set up is pretty simple, but apparently the horn button retainer is making contact and activating the horn. UPDATE: My horn button retainer is definitely worn out.

TIA!

Kevin
