First time poster after lurking for a month or so. Last month, I bought a 92 JY and am in the process of getting it ready for inspection to become street legal.
When I bought it, the horn was not working unless a ton of pressure was put on the steering wheel. I bought a Crown horn repair and contact kit as the plastic post on the contact was broken. While removing the bushing, receiver, spring plate, etc., I was able to make certain the horn was functional when contact was made. I removed the steering wheel, clip, and plate in order to take out the old plastic contact and installed the new one.
Inserted the new contact (spring and contact pin not included in this pic)
Plate installed (spring and pin not included in this pic as well)
Here is where I encounter my problem. When pressing inward on the plate to install the clip over the spline, there is contact somewhere and the horn goes off (remains on). Not sure what I am missing from the old to the new contact but I'm not able to seat the plate as much as it was before I removed everything. I've pulled out the steering shaft as much as possible but still having an issue. I've done a side by side comparison and the old vs new contact don't seem off much but maybe it is enough to creat an issue?.
Anyone ever encounter the same problem at this point in the horn repair process? Continuing to troubleshoot but thought I'd check in here.
