I’ve got a ’68 Charger and I’m having trouble with the horn. It used to work fine, but over time it started getting intermittent — sometimes the horn wouldn’t activate when pressing the center ring. I figured it might be the relay, so I replaced it, but that didn’t solve the issue.
Here’s what I’ve tested so far:
With a test light grounded to the body, I pulled the horn ring and touched the light to the metal plate under the horn switch (the one the horn ring makes contact with). When I do that, the horn sounds.
Based on that, I replaced the horn switch with another used one, but the problem is still there — no horn when pressing the ring.
At this point, I’m wondering if I just happened to get two bad horn switches, or if the issue could be in the turn signal mechanism or somewhere deeper in the column.
Has anyone run into something similar or have suggestions on what to check next?
Any help is appreciated thx you.
