Horn button wire
#16
#17
I gave up and am working on other parts of the cab. Have too many other things to work on before I'll need a working set of horns. Tomorrow though I might heat up the threaded rod with a torch and try to melt whatever the heck is stuck in there.
I do think it's cool that Ford used a hollow shaft to allow the horn wire to go straight through to the bottom, was surprised to find out that is where the wire went.

How about using a long piece of stiff wire with a hook on the end to grab whatever it is? Like a really long spring hook made from a coat hanger or something like that.

No problem, what you do is feed a wire from the bottom up and tape the new
wire to that then pull the whole thing thru, from the bottom. Problem is with
these no matter what make, is there is a stand pipe "bottom of the box" so the oil dont come out. So the wire has to be perfectly feed through this skinny little
pipe. Sometimes it will be the first shot, sometimes ya fiddle with it all day.

Good luck with the nuclear option.
