    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    Nice pic jarhead. Yesterday I got my air pressure up and cracked the line to make sure I had air at the horns and good to go. Hooked up the continuity tester up to the 25 wire at the box in jarhead's pic and the 25 wire at the horn and tested to be a good wire. So I ran a wire from the 25 at the...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    Jarhead1086: glad you got yours figured out. That would have been a joy to figure out. I hate trying to get up under there and stand on the step at the same time. Rough. I have decided it's gonna get a cheap horn button mounted on the side of the column. Put the column back in and touched that...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    Well, I have tried following them directions and I can only get that bearing flange to move about 1/4". As I tap one side the other goes back in the jacket. Seems like the bearing may be seized to the gearshaft. Any ideas from here? I really don't want to damage anything considering I have no...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    M16ty: Sorry about your cat. Not a good way to go. You have made me check close before firing up the old beast. Don't want to see poor PG get done in that way.

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    MyothersanM1: That looks like a nice helper. Probably gets in them places you can't so easy. No help here on what the purpose of the diode is. Just more trouble. Juanprado: I think I read where when the diode goes your horn will blow with out shutting off until you unhook it. Hard to tell if...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    MyothersanM1: Thank you very much for that. I had to print it so I could read the sideways pdf but well worth it. I believe I understand what they are saying. I will tear into that tomorrow as I have time. I figure some heavy yet flexible wire with rubberized insulation should do the trick and I...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    Right. Got the 24v at the solenoid. I put in op that it was wire 25 but it could be 26. Regardless it's the one that isn't the same as the wire number for the ground at the column. It is switched (only on when battery switch is on) and not always on like some I have read about are, but the...

    How do I replace the horn wire in the steering shaft?

    Okay, now the horn. I looked all over the search function to find lots of posts on dueces but no breakdown for 5 tons. Traced my lack of horn to the wire in the shaft. Got 24v at the solenoid positive side. (wire 25) Unplugged the wire from the box at the bottom of the steering column and the...
