Have you ever worked on the Horn Button - walnut Grant steering wheel '68 B body

munger77 · Feb 23, 2018

I put a walnut Grant steering wheel on my 1968 satellite GTX clone convertible, but cannot get the horn button installed correctly, so I'm driving with no button or functioning horn.

Has anyone installed an aftermarket Grant wheel that has access to a photo of the horn button assembly and how it goes together? Seems easy, but...Would appreciate any help.

You'll have to specify which type of Grant wheel, they have 2 different styles of horn buttons that I'm aware of. Here they are.

Thanks 747Mopar, it is definitely the one on the right photo with the tan circular plate and the 3 nuts.

Do you have everything already installed correctly as far as the wheel mounting goes? The one thing to keep in mind is the horn wire is a ground, it comes up threw the column isolated, pushing the button grounds it activating the horn. If your to the point shown in that picture you just put the spring on the steering column shaft and push the horn button on until you feel it click, that's it.

I started avoiding the ones with this setup, they work fine but if you get a button that won't stay on it can be very aggrevating. The GT versions have a better horn setup but are more $$

Junker???? That's the same one I have, very nicely made and works flawlessly for me. Mines the Mahogany version and I'll likely never change it.

Mine wasn't making contact when I pressed the button. I needed to sand off some paint on mine to establish a good contact. A good test is to take the lead and try to ground it, if the horn sounds the problem is with the grant horn button. If not it is further down the line.
