Hi all,

I've been having horn troubles for the past 6 months, and my car isn't even on the road yet. I bought a refurbished steering wheel and installed it and now the horn keeps beeping. I've tried to diagnose the problem and think that it may be the steering wheel itself, specifically the copper ring/gasket that contacts the roller ball in the column, even though I was told the steering wheel was tested and works great.
I'd like to pick up a used steering wheel that works, contact clean etc. to test out. If anyone has a cheapy that will fit a '69 b body on the cheapity cheap side I would really appreciate it. Appearance doesn't matter, so long as the contacts are clean and it worked find beforehand. I don't want to spend $100 on a new wheel that I have no use for.

I'm hopeful its not my restored wheel that I paid $$ for....
 
it does sound like the insulator/gasket is bad under the copper contact washer. you can ohm out the horn switch to see if it's working correctly. also you can repair the insulator under the copper contact washer
by removing the signal cancel and copper contact washer then use some of the plastic dip and gasket material to repair it. to check the wheel itself before doing the repair just check for an open circuit between the copper contact washer and the steel hub of the wheel. if its not open then the insulator is bad
