DD...thanks for the great pictures. It appears that I have all wires hooked properly as all light work. When I removed the steering column shaft I tested for continuity in case a wire was broken and all appeared good.
I misspoke in a previous post where I stated that I tested for power when I actually tested for continuity in the horn wire. At that time I did remove the horn button and all looked as I thought it should. I am now leaning toward the problem being in the horn button. I think somehow it is not making contact when depressed.
When I put the button back on the light switch in the wheel I did not see where it had to be aligned in any certain way. I just straightened the tabs on the back of the button and pushed it in and then bent the tabs back over again.
DOES IT HAVE TO LINE UP IN A CERTAIN WAY ?
