:From one Earl to another.... : :There's not much to the innards of the wheel itself. The problem may be in your turn-signal switch, which is where the contacts for the horn circuit connect to the back of the wheel. If those contacts are worn, or if a spring is broken or missing (they are spring-loaded to maintain contact as they wear), then the horn won't work at the wheel. As you may know, these switches are harder than heck to find, especially for earlier cars like yours (and mine). You see them on Ebay from time to time, but they usually run more than what I'm willing to pay for one. Hope this helps. : :Earl I've recently been made an offer I couldn't refuse for my 74 Comet so I'll be selling a bunch of the parts I bought for it but never got put on. Among them is a brand new, FORD, turnsignal switch. Never used, I think I still have the Ford box, and it'll be about 35% less than Autokrafters. Have other items too, Chilton's, wiring diagram, etc. You guys get first crack before they go back on Ebay Email me if you want to know more.
