1987 Cadillac Seville Repair Question
Horn contact ring question
to remove the contact plate do you have to remove the lock plate, because if so id rather scrap the car than go through that mess again.
how does the contact plate connect to the car itself? like what is connected directly to the plate on the under side. i dont need a full scematic just the connection method at the plate.
i dont have a steering wheel puller at the moment so i have to kinda guess and figure this out blindly for now and it has to be done by tomorrow morning

ok, the ground wire for the horn comes through the turn signal switch assembly. it energises a brass ring that the button attaches to that goes to the touch pad on the wheel.
you can find the wire at the end of the harness that goes up the column. I believe it is a black wire and you can put an external button to operate it. It is not right or professional but will suffice if you need it asap. you still need to have it repaired correctly.

i know but hey that works for me, thanks for the help i just gotta figure out whick wire it is without having to take the steering column apart again that is a mission i dont even wanna undertake again
use a test light at the connector. when you find the wire, the test light should be enough of a ground to make the horn work.

only problem is i dont have a test light, or know where the harness is lol. it just kinda runs into a bundle of hundreds of other wires, gotta love cadillacs. but ill figure it out, if all else fails ill run through the firewall to the relay
the horn wont work without that spring.
ok just wondering if that was my issue, thanks again cadieman youve been alot of help
