Just got this 914-6 GT. Horn wasn’t working. It’s a 914 steering wheel with a 911 hockey puck horn button. Pulled off the puck and the horn wire was wrapped in electrical tape. Think I figured out it’s because the base plate and spring plate aren’t isolated from each other. The pin was broken off the base plate. Bought a new base plate and a washer kit. Can’t figure out where the “top hat” shaped plugs go ( I now have six). Do they go in the base plate, the spring plate, or both? And in which direction? I’m truly lost and need kindergarten level instructions here. Thanks!

Maybe ( new rubber piece too) I’m just not turning it forcefully enough. Lemme give it a shot. I can tell it’s not tightly seated. |

Mine takes a good firm twist to locate which I believe is correct ,sounds like that will sort yours ,cheers. |
