Hello, I put the stock steering wheel on and attached the horn wire to it at the plug in. When I turn on the ignition the horn is on right away continuous. Also the center cap of the wheel does not seem snug but loose. Any ideas what is wrong?

Do you have plastic or fiber spacers on the plate that’s bolted to the horn pad?

Ask as the insulator, for the plate. Just, snaps in .

Garland, so you're saying I must install this part? No I don't think I have it but will check in my parts boxes

Mepstein, not sure what you mean do you have any pictures of what I need? Are you saying I am missing a part?

Possibly. I don't know if you have the fiber washers behind the plate. You do also need the rubber piece in the pic.

Thanks Garland so I so have a missing part the rubber piece in the picture. Do I ALSO need some fiber washers put around the 3 points on the back of the front plate?

The horn wire looks a little crusty make sure its not contacting anywhere else but the horn button ok,and need to fix the other stuff as mentioned,good luck.

Yes, you need the rubber piece and the isolator washers/spacers for plate that attaches to the horn pad. Here’s a link to a picture of what they look like:

No, the wire does not go through the hole in the wheel. That hole is used on very early /4 cars and all the /6 cars for the horn contact. It is completely different.
