Re: 1936 horn button light switch
The circuit is completed when the horn button is depressed, which grounds to the steering shaft. The horn rod is simply a conduit, not part of the circuit.

Re: 1936 horn button light switch
yes, the brass bushing on the top is really the best path to ground. once grounded to shaft many routes thru all the metal to metal contacts in the steering box will get it finally to the battery

Re: 1936 horn button light switch
Thanks Alan and cas3, I will check it further to see if I can get a complete circuit. This is a good cold weather project, something I can bring in the house to work on.

Re: 1936 horn button light switch
??? My wife would get out the shotgun if I brought a complete steering box, shaft, and steering wheel into the house.

Re: 1936 horn button light switch
I would take it down to the basement to work on it, not the dining room table.😊

Re: 1936 horn button light switch
Don, you are going to get me in trouble. Your car parts look much cleaner than mine, and in better shape.
I think I may have to take the button apart to see what is going on under there because I still am unable to measure continuity when the button is depressed. Continuity from the terminal at the bottom of the tube to the collar that is at the top of the tube is what I was measuring. |
