Default 77 Horn problem

Hey guys,

So my horn started blaring as I was driving down the road the other day. I pulled over and just disconected the horn and got home to find the sleeve that the insulator sits in is broken (see pic).


I have done some searches and can't seem to find the fix.

Any help?

Thank you

you're going to need a new lower horn contact. they run around $20-$45. I believe most (if not all) of the parts vendors have it....as well as ebay.

i'd say to compare it to the one in the pic, if it looks right, go ahead with the swap. If it didn't come with the spring, you'll have to swap that over. You might also want to get one of these: horn contact retainer. They are usual so brittle (if they haven't been replaced before) that they just snap into pieces. I speak from experience..lol

I hear Fantomworks will fix a '77 horn button for only $47,000.
