Title: horn wont stop as soon as i put the steering wheel on, SL 230 1963
Post by: free2keun on March 14, 2018, 20:51:15

Hello,
as soon as i put the steering wheel on, the horn goes of.  there is a spring, as you can see on the photo.  are there missing some other parts ?

You have to give more details. What kind of work did you do? If the horn goes on when you mount the steering wheel it is usually caused by the horn ring not being seated properly or the bearing housing below has not been pushed all the way.

The horn sounds when the ground "earth" is activated by the switch under the steering wheel. Make sure the horn ring is suspended properly in the steering wheel.

There's a small wavy spring under the contact plate and if it's missing it will never work properly. Not a lot of parts in there but every one of them is important.

Are you missing a spring? Seems like there is a ball bearing involved here also?  Do you have a picture of the rest of the parts?

hello all, thank you for the answers.  i took a look at this site about the steering wheel.  i think that my ring bar is not the correct one.  can some one confirm that ? 
the first picture is from the site

Hi,
this member of the German Pagodentreff had the same problem: https://www.pagodentreff.de/diskussionsforum/threads/lenkrad.9957/#post-68566.
Small part of the spring down and correct cabling/not the same, maybe it helps you.

Hello all,

Thank you for your help, Radu, Ja17, Benz DR. and WRe,

I think I found a solution.  I put away the ring, so now there is more space.  The horn ring bar comes from another type MB.  I bought this Pagoda in pieces.
The problem is solved
