It came from Ebay.

So far I'm extremely happy with the fit. I just haven't quite figured out the correct way to hook up the horn as there are no instructions.

I have a similar steering wheel. What is the issue with the horn?

Rob,

I have everything installed per the illustration. Is the spring from contact plunger the only thing that holds the steering contact away from the steering wheel? I can get the horn to honk when pushing down the contact, but when the horn button is snapped on, I get nothing.

You should have a wire coming out of the plunger that connects to the switch ("E" in the diagram) that looks like this:

Interesting. The aftermarket horn I took off had a wire in the plunger that was connected, but since this kit didn't include one of those, I removed it and instead installed the spring, then contact plunger. The contact plate with the 3 screws then holds down the plunger in the hole on top of the spring. I suppose I could put the plunger with the wire back in and hook the wire end to the little tab on the back of the 3 hole contact plate and see what happens. Should there be a spring behind the contact plate on top of the column nut that holds the horn button away from the wheel?

I believe my 3 hole contact plate is spring loaded.

This is what my kit came with, minus the horn contact canceling cam. I'm using the original truck cam. Other than what's pictured, I have the hub, the steering wheel, and the horn button.
