Horn question?

[GTS61]

First off my horn does work but when I push on my horn button nothing happens. So I took off horn button and touched the metal cup and steering wheel bolt with a screwdriver it works. How would I fix this? Thanks for any help!!

Thanks, I just ordered it!

I usually just clean the metal "spring" washer with some steel wool and it works again. It's the far left part in the picture of item 13.

I did do that. I’m just having a heck of a time with this horn. It looks like something so simple can aggravate me. It’s the last thing I need to fix on my truck. I should say hopefully it’s my last thing to fix. Lol

Lol I know. I've fought them several times. You may also need to bend that a little so it's a bit more concave or "dish" shaped if that makes sense. The actual contact button that slides into the hole in the wheel can get sticky as well.

Can someone help me out here. Below are the pictures of what i got. My horn wasn’t working after i took the steering wheel off awhile ago to repaint etc. i think i forgot the order i took the horn stuff off. I searched and came across this thread and the diagram of parts listed above. But im not sure where the little Horn spring button goes into the diagram.

Its a 62 C10.

I got the pieces back together after i took another look at it. However, the most i get out of the horn is a quick blurp. Even when touching a screwdriver to the steering column and the horn plate. Is it a wiring issue or a bad horn unit? Any suggestions on how to find out. I’m by no means a mechanic so please be descriptive.

Thanks

I’m in the exact same situation! Don’t know what’s happening the darn thing will either honk or stays on. I ordered all new parts for under horn button and same problem. Good luck with yours. Someone on here always has a good idea on troubleshooting.

That’s what I hoping for. I don’t want to have to replace everything for no reason. Good luck to you!
