Can anyone help me figure out what I am missing to get my horn button to work correctly? I have been looking for instructions for the horn assembly with no luck. We have checked the relay and the horns they work well. The problem seems to be under the chrome button. I do not know if I am missing a spring or have the wrong horn ring. When I tighten down the chrome cover, I cannot push the center down and get the horn to actuate. I have attached photos of the steering wheel and button. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Location: Lower Mainland BC		I am only going on (vague) memory here but I would say that the chrome bit needs to be loose enough (not tightened to the wheel) so it can pivot and move the bits shown in this (your) photo. In fact, if you can't get the horn to work by pushing on the brown fibre material (and making the required contacts), the issue is with the downstream bits, including (possibly) the horn relay on the inside drivers-side fender.

Those three screws should have springs under that plate and the plate should move.

Location: Buena Park, CA		You are missing the actual horn ring. The center section of the wheel does not actuate the horn contact, it is actually the outer ring on the wheel which is missing in your pictures. I think I have an extra one that was repaired by someone that I would sell you cheap if you can't find a good one.

Location: Buena Park, CA		I actually found my repaired ring in my office, you can see where it bolts to the plastic spacer and actuates the horn.

You're right Dave. I was very wrong. I was thinking that there was a stripper version that didn't have horn ring like my 56 Custom Royal. I just finished going through some of the 56 Dodge photos that I have archived and I would say that even the most basic 6 cylinder Coronet had a horn ring.

Like this one (2dr, 6 cylinder, 3 spd manual) - still came with a horn ring.

You were probably thinking about the 55-56 Plymouth Plaza's which have the same center section as the 55-56 Savoy's and Belvederes, but no ring.

And Tride55, no problem man.
