Horn problems

[PC Dreams]

I just replaced my turn signal switch in my 67 stang. But I'm having problems with the horn.

I took the contact ring off the steering wheel (under side) and I can't figure out how it goes back together.

There is a piece of plastic (ring shaped) that I know has to fit between the inner and outer ring but I can't figure how it goes.

When I put the steering wheel back on the horn honks when you turn it.

Arg!!

Any help would be apperciated.

Did you lube the horn brass buttons?
If they are dry it creates a dragging on the contacts and the horn will sound.

Brass buttons

you mean the contacts that stick out of the turn signal / hazzard switch?

what kind of lube would you use?

Update: Just tried this. Same results.

I think my problem is I don't know which way the insulator is suppose to go. It just started doing this since I changed the Turn signal switch...

Update 2: Well I don't know what I did differently than the first 50 times I put it on, but the problem is gone.
