Getting my new whip ready for inspection and discovered my horn has issues. The horn was disconnected from the bumper and now I know why. It won’t stop blowing when I hook the wire back up to the actual horn. I removed the horn assembly on the steering wheel and and for obvious reasons it stops because the mechanism is no longer grounded. I tested the ground wire on the steering wheel and can hear the relay clicking when I disconnect the actual horn so all is good with that. Everything makes sense up till now. Problem is, when I connect the ground wire the assembly and attach it to the steering wheel the horn won’t stop honking. I assume it’s staying grounded when I hook it up. Been troubleshooting it for a little while and I’m wondering what the issue might be. Any thoughts?

Hi - sorry to open up this thread again but I'm having a similar problem. I have all the bits (I think) in the diagram, but I can't work out how they go together. I have a spring button rather than the spade connector but all else looks similar. I can't see where the rubber cuff sits, and also can't see how the two discs can be made to contact if there's a nylon washer between them? Is there an exploded diagram of this arrangement anywhere please? Any help much appreciated! Thanks, Dylan
