Early cj5 horn wire

Has anyone ever tried to fish a new horn wire down through the steering column ? How can you get the wire down the column without taking everything apart?

I just stuffed it down from the top. It came right out the bottom.

 

Go buy a lottery ticketyou hit the 1/4" tube at the bottom, one in a million shot.

 

I know this is an older thread, but I'm doing my research before I start. So just to be clear, at the bottom end of the steering column out under hood down by the ground, there is a single wire popping out then it goes into a harness. That is the horn wire, right?

 

Sounds like it

 

Yes thats it.

 

To be clear, the wire comes out the end of the Ross box (if original) as the steering shaft is one piece from the top all the way through the Ross Box.

 

Ok. After spending time under the dash looking for where I came out like all the vehicles I had worked on in the past, that was the only possible wire I could find. Now to figure out where in the harness it is. The prior was at the horn was just laying on the inner fender broken off.

 

The stiff wire inserted at the bottom hole and run up to connect to and drag back down the horn wire works.

To whom it may concern--If the steering has been converted from original , as in my Saginaw, the "horn wire in the tube" will get its neck wrung (broken) with steering rotation. A special (home-built) rotator swipe may be possible, or as many do-- a horn button mounted elsewhere, often the dash.

 

Mine is strapped to the underside of the steering column, just beneath the turnsignal controller.
