Turn signal canceling ring

Post by Manxx1 »

I just installed a new Grant steering wheel on my buggy with an early vw turn signal switch and canceling ring. I moved the horn button from the dash to the steering wheel horn and now I'm having issues with the horn going off when I use my turn signals. I think the canceling ring is grounding out on the steering column and causing the horn to go off. Does anyone know of an easy way to fix this? Neil (New Manx I guy)

I'm not sure if this will help answer your question, but Wolfsburg West has a great article on VW horn wiring: http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/wired/wire ... _12_00.htm

It does sound like you are getting a unwanted ground in there somewhere. Sometimes the canceling ring is insulated from the steering wheel with nylon screws.

My friend who owns a vw shop in Ventura fashioned a canceling ring out of electrical conduit and it works great! Thanks for trying to help!

Hey Manxx1;

Any chance you have a picture or two of this conduit canceling ring you can put up here? Thanks

Let me check and see if he took pictures of it before installing it, if not I'm not sure I want to pull it apart to take pictures.
