Power distribution switch on lower steering column

[airspeed]

I have been tracing a "horn not working" problem. The brown wire from the horn relay goes back to a slide switch located down on the steering column. This switch is operated by a push-rod from the ignition swith up on the steering coulmn. The sliding contacts in that switch are just worn out, I took it apart and cleaned the contacts and reseated but that didn't help. What is the technical discription of this switch and where can I find a new one? 88 Comanche, 2.5, 4 spd.

When I had to replace that switch on my 91' Comanche several years ago I was faced with the same problem, what to ask for at the parts house. I located one at Pep Boys and armed only with a good description got what I was looking for and was informed that the computer listed it as an ignition switch.
