89 MJ Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Is it both directions or just left or just right? I’d guess turn signal switch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 both. got out my spare column to experiment with (the column is collapsed which to me means it's for parts anyway) and am having a heck of a time with the little snap ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 success! I've dug into my spare column and found some intact springs to use. now I just gotta replicate the whole process inside the truck (plus steering wheel removal). at least it's a cool cloudy day.

Pete M Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 tore it all apart, found a missing flat spring, replaced said spring, reassembled everything, no change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 lol, apparently I'm blind. the return cam piece is not broken, it's literally missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 someone has definitely been inside this column before. wires were mis-routed, pieces are missing, screw heads are stripped. good times all around. but it's back together and complete. too bad the horn still doesn't work. I'll look into that later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Which steering wheel does it have? Seems to me that the two spoke steering wheels just make crappy contact for the horn button. I’ve taken it apart and cleaned it and it still works intermittently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta clean every damn contact from the turn signal switch all the way up to the steering wheel and it’s surface it slides on to. It’s stupid sensitive.

Seems to me that the two spoke steering wheels just make crappy contact for the horn button. I’ve taken it apart and cleaned it and it still works intermittently. 3 spoke. having a functioning horn is way down the list of important things, but tomorrow I'd like to at least confirm that there is a horn and that it's plugged in. (I owned my first MJ for years with no horn before discovering the wire was dangling next to it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
