Guest teddj Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Restoring a 1950 dodge Meadowbrook and have a question regarding the horn. I have found all the parts related to the horn and need to know how to route the horn wire. the wire has been removed and I need to know if it runs in the hollow steering shaft and exits to where bottom of jacket outside ? I don't see where the wire comes out of the the column jacket.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It runs down the hollow shaft and out the bottom. At the bottom there would be about 6" sticking out with a connector on the end. There would be a wire hanging from the wiring harness for it to connect to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teddj Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Ok the wire runs down to the bottom of the shaft. Does it exit in the car at the bottom of the tube or outside at the bottom of the column tube. There is a clamp at the bottom of the tube where it connects to the steering gear and I don't see a hole where it would come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 On the Chrysler products I am familiar with, the steering shaft is a hollow tube. The wire goes down this tube and out the bottom of the steering box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teddj Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Ok update on meadowbrook horn wire. I have the entire steering column out of the vehicle as far as I see the hollow steering shaft stayed in the car because it connects directly with the steering gear box. Yes it's hollow but there is no way the horn wire runs down into the steering gear box. For one thing it's full of oil and the steering jacket only contains the turn signal switch which has 6 wires. I do not see where the horn wire could exit the column and go to the relay. although the shop manual shows the steering wheel side and shows a brake down of all the parts it does not show where the wire exits the column, all it tells you is the wire is disconnected near the bottom of the column on some models so it is not clear at all. So how it is routed is still a puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
