inside the 280Z steering column, there is a plastic part with a spring metal feeler that touches the horn ring, behind the sterering wheel. It's part of the turnsignal-headlight switch assembly. You may know of this part. The problem is that mine has broken off, and the horn goes on when you don't expect it to.

The question is, can you get a replacement for this part with the metal feeler, or can it be repaired?

thx

How is it mounted? It's been a while since I looked at one but if is screws on, I may have one somewhere in the garage on an old switch assembly.

EDIT: I do have one. It's just about the only part of my old switch assy.

that's still any good. I desoldered the wire and the plastic part that

it mounts on has a small crack but it should work. The metal part

is still good.

That is the piece in the picture, Steven. If it breaks loose or the screw is loose, the arm will swing over and touch the side of the steer wheel hub, get grounded, and the horn will go off.

I was able to get mine to stay put this long, but it needs to be repaired properly now. I will get mine apart, and see if gool ol' GOOP will handle it. So hold on if you were thinking og packing it up for me.

thx

I just took it out to see what it looked like. The rest of the switch is toast. It's one I replaced about 6 years ago. If you ever do need it, let me know.
