Mac Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Horn goes off as you turn the wheel.Had the button and horn brush out, seem ok. Had the wheel off, slip ring seems ok.Anything obvious it might be that's causing the contact with the wheel or steering column as the wheel turns?

heraldcoupe Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Excessive play at the top steering column bush can cause the steering wheel boss to make contact with the horn slip ring. Poorly made aftermarket steering wheels suffer the same problem even if the bushes are in good order.Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'd bet Bill's right, but I'd also check the leads for chafing/earthing, since I seem to remember having this problem, way way back when... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkuser Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The sliding section in the steering column could be adjusted too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpith Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I've had the same problem. You need to remove the steering wheel - on the back of the boss there's a raised circle about 3mm wide all around the edge, if you grind this back so that it's flush with the rest of the boss, then paint it, it should fix the problem.

Mac Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Thanks guys.Think I've found it.Routed the horn slip ring wire wrong, straight throguh, should go under the metal plate in the column methinks to keep it out of the indicator switch return mechanism. In fact the indicators were returning sometimes, sometimes not. Wire had been ripped off slip ring and was touching steering column. Soldered back on, should be sorted and the indicators should return.Too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Mine did the same after fitting a Motolisa wheel. I added a washer (made for the job) and no further problems.The wheel was catching the horn slip ring. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Bit overdone I'd say - looks like it's added a couple of ounces, surely? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
