its a light switch horn rod, you have to start at the bottom of the steering column, remove the light switch, the center contact is your horn,if you ground that contact the horn should blow, if not there is a problem some place ELSE and you will have to trace it out, removel of the light switch,remove the bottom spring and SPIDER . push it up. there will be a c-clip, remove the c-clip and the spider will slip off,the assembley. have a friend hold the horn button down, when doing this, you can then pull the assembley out of the top, if you have a coupe or sedan, you might have to remove the floor boards and drop the column so you can slide it out the top, also loosen the steering box on the chassis, it will be greasy, have plenty of rags or paper towels,when removing the light switch rod, if it is a Open Car, put the Top Down,and it will simply come up and out, BE CAREFUL NOT TO BEND IT,very hard to find another,!! do you have any books on the FORD CARS ? They used this light switch, horn rod,system from 1928 to 1939, and all are about the same the way they work, how is the wiring in the car,? hope this helps 37RAGTOPMAN

motorama2 Should you have to remove the horn button from the rod assembly as described by RAGTOPMAN, be very gentle in bending the three tabs attached to the button collar which holds the button to the rod assembly. If you muscle these tabs, they break off very easily. This message was edited by MG on 3-7-11 @ 4:00 PM
