Hi my wiper stalk is really loose and when i indicate the whole wiper/indiactor stalk assembly moves, the screw and bracket clamping the wiper/indicator stalk to the assembly has snapped off. i was just wandering if anyone has had this before, and if so, how did you get around it??
new stalk assemblys are expensive

and i have an aftermarket steering wheel with a horn push button in the middle which i'd like to use, how do i go about wiring this up from the existing horn press?

cheers!

I imagine there is a way to fix the securing ring, but I can't think of it myself.

And yes replacements are damned expensive.

I'd imagine the centre horn push would be for earlier models?

i tightened the screw on mine as it was also loose - it is underneath the column. however i tightened a bit to much, and it snapped at the top!
in the end i drilled through the plastic and into the column (carefully!) and secured it with a self tapping screw.

My horn switch broke so I wired a new one in using a switch from an old computer case. I tapped onto the purple and purple and black wires and works fine. Hope that helps

what size screw did you use as surely the screw would hit the inner coulumn?? thanks
