    reassembled column = horn stays on

    I had the same problem, the cause was rusted componets for the horn button. Also make sure you reinstalled the retaining clip and it is in the grove. Used steering wheel puller to pull steering shaft up to install clip. Good luck

    Sucker sucky still no shifty

    Replaced my vacuum pump today, getting good vacuum at vacuum valve. But not getting anything out of valve. I guess the next step will be to pull the vacuum vale and try to pull it a part and clean. Any one have any words of wisdom? ( required TM referance 9-2320-289-20 sec 3-21) Thanks

    Newbie! Need some advice.

    First welcome: Start by reading all you can on this web site, down load the TM's you will need them. I started by cleaning all elec connections and using dielectric grease on connections. They say here if it is rubber replace it, if electric clean it. Good luck with your M1009.
