Yes, how does the horn go honk from the steering wheel Horn Button (butterfly part)? The parts diagrams don't show how it works
On my steering wheel, the single wire comes up via a hole in the steering wheel, and plugs into the metal plate on the back of the horn button, except it doesn't go honk. I can ground the wire and the horns work fine. The 2 parts I'm missing from the parts page are the spring loaded contact pin and the horn button rubber center support. If I need the pin contact, how does the wire get to the horn button plug.
Drawings...Pictures ...Please. Thanks

IIRC both the Haynes & Factory Manuals & maybe 700 tech tips & others show it in pix &/or descriptions.
... you do need both the pin & rubber cup, which is probably why a cheapo DAPO disconnected it not having the parts - is my guess.
Sierra Madre Collection sells both the pin & cup separately, as well as a horn rebuild kit with them & a few other parts for the 914s. AA, PP/Automation, Pelican, TCsGarage, etc., etc. also sell the pin & cup separately, but the cost for both may equal the SMC kit.

The contact pin is only for 70/71 cars. We all have the rubber cup "spring".

If you fix it and it goes "honk" "honk", you probably have an after market horn. On the other hand, if it goes "beep" "beep", or... you know... something like that, you will then know that you have a stock horn. You don't find info like this in any damn Haynes manual.

So you want me to buy a book and read???
The unspoken in Haynes is that the
wire replaces the pin in the 73 and the rubber cup is what holds them apart.
And real Texans never say beep beep.
Thanks
