Ididit column and Horn

[coreyc]

How do I get the horn working with the Ididit column and the GM steering wheel adapter with center horn push button? Do I need to purchase a switch that inserts into the column?

Thanks,

There is a 1/4" spade connector that the black wire from the opposite side of the horn relay runs to.

When you press the horn, it connects to ground.

Find the 1/4" spade connector and put an Ohm meter to it and ground, press the button. I should read from infinity to near zero as you press the horn button.

The horn should sound when the wire touches any ground.

Hope this helps.

It has been a long time but I am now back at it. Still have not fixed the horn issue. I understand it makes a ground to sound the horn but when I look in there a have a brass screw on the back of the center cap and 3 holes in the center of the column (one which looks like it has some sort of connector inside) How exactly is the gound made and am I missing some kind of connector in there?

Thanks,
Corey

I had to run a ground wire to the outer steering column casing. I used the steering column fasteners keep the ground wire attached to the steering column casing.

You have to buy a horn contact from an earlier gm vehicle. I believe a mid 70's part will work. I have seen them for second generation Cameros.
Here's one on fleabay.

Just google "GM horn contact" and you'll come up with all kinds of hits.
