Turn Signal Cancel Tab and Horn Failures Options

[The Double S]

Hi All,

I have a 1970 914 with an aftermarket Dino steering wheel. I've had issues with the turn signal cancel and the horn not working since I purchased the car.

When I removed the steering wheel and adapter to investigate, it seems like the cancel tab is not long enough to fully initiate the cancel mechanism in the turn signal. It feels like it just touches it half way but still leaves the turn signal on. Is this a result of the tab on the cancel ring being worn out? Or is it the steering wheel adapter fitment preventing the tab to go as far as it needs to?

Additionally, my horn doesn't work. I attached a picture below. It looks like the brass colored arm has been removed or sheered of. Will that affect the performance of the canceling tab?

Thank you for the help in advance.

The broken contact is the reason you have no horn as you have no contact on the slip ring,this is usually cause but no lube,the tab wears and breaks off.
Not sure about the Dino wheels but suspect they are same fitment as the Momo version,what adaptor do you have ? and do you have the stock slip ring attached on the back of the adaptor or something else ?.
Seems like your wheel may not be on far enough for the cancel function to work or switch is broken,however you still need to replace it .
I found for example the Momo adaptor wasn't a great fit so the stock wheel components didn't fit well without some work to get the cancel piece in the right place.
Good luck.

I don't know what adapter I have. The car came with the setup that is currently on it. The ring has VW stamped on it. There is a large E-clip that prevents the wheel from moving too far down the splines. I've seen that E-clip on the threads with guys installing MOMO wheels. Wasn't sure if there is a ring with a longer tab on it. Thanks for the part number, I'll check the connector. I'm more bothered by the cancel tab than the horn Lol.
