Hope this helps.
i agree, if your horn were draining your battery, you would sure as hell here it. i put grants in two different trucks and both worked fine. you don't need the pictured parts either. when i put one on my 64, the old wheel didn't have any of those parts in it (just a bare steering wheel with no guts) and i put the grant on and the horn worked fine
