So simple haha, I'll give the glue one more chance then I'll try that! Will post a picture if I fix it that way!

How about cutting a straw and slip it over the broken shaft and glue it OR taking heat shrink wrap insert the connector and shrink the wrap over the shaft?

Re: Car back from body shop - horn buttons don't work
 

It would need to be a pretty big straw! And heat shrink wrap... I'm not sure it would be able to handle the constant spring pressure!

I just went for a 20 miles ride in town now, horn still works. To be continued.

You should be good for awhile. I used a tooth pick about 7 or so years ago and the horn still works. I've since then bought the plastic piece but don't want to tear the steering wheel down far enough to replace it until I need to.

Now that you mention it, and reminded me, I fixed mine in the same way. Jammed a small piece of scrap plastic in the hole to hold it. Been working fine for several years now.

Once again my point....the method is simple and it works. GC :cheers:

This thread was never updated!!! It also jinxed me. Putting the wheel back on the 90. I see that someone had crimped a new wire in it before. Dorman makes an exact fit replacement part # 49319

Well, personally I've got lucky to still get the broken part. 3 layers of glue did the trick, I used the horn on the highway yesterday again and everything is good!
