Howdy everyone, I'm new to the site and just posted on the introductions. I've got a '86 CJ7 that was restored and I'm missing some parts to the horn I think. I don't know exactly how it works, but I believe there is supposed to be a "plunger" with a spring around it in the steering column. The spring is there but that's it. I installed a new horn and the wire was there to hook up to it but I'm not sure what parts I'm missing on the column. I can't find a diagram or the parts online. All the horn kits don't show the plunger and spring, just the metal ring and ground wire. Any help would be awesome. Thanks and I look forward to talking with y'all.

I pull this info from some other forums
I hope this may help you
Your CJ uses the standard GM steering column from the 80's. Any 80 + steering column can be a donor (if you want to go junk yard scrounging). If you want new parts, tell them you have a 82 Firebird or Camero or something like that - the parts will fit.

Thanks for the info. I'll try finding a schematic for one of those. Even if I found the parts, I wouldnt know how they go.

Not sure what you are talking about; a picture might help; but maybe you can find it here

I think you talking about what is called a "clock" spring it allows the steering wheel to turn and the horn to work without wires in between

Found what you were looking for?

Haven't had time yet. Found an old jeep to get parts off of, just didn't have the tools with me.

Welcome! I would recomend picking up a Hayne's manual for your CJ. they come in real handy when trying to figure out what parts are missing from an assembly, and how an assembly goes together.
