I've got a 3 spoke rim-blow steering wheel. Cosmetically it looks fine, but the horn doesn't work. The previous owner hooked up the horn to a small button near the base of the steering column. Does anyone have experience or better yet a diagram of the electric components and how they work?
Thanks,
Keith
remove 3 screws from back of the pad
2 1/4 spade terminals on the wheel
jumper them horn should work

Frank, thanks for the Mustangs Monthly link, it pretty much covers the entire resto process. I think I have that issue in my (mess) archives. Anyway,
Thanks again,

Ohiomustang, Thanks for the concise explaination, it should help. Plus now I know where to get a new switch if needed.
Thanks again,

Astranit...thanks for the link on restoring the rim bow wheel. I have a perfect candidate for this restoration. I think I will give this a try since I have nothing lose but only to gain.
