I took apart the steering wheel today to see why my horn didn't work.
Looks like I will ordering a new clock-spring unit tomorrow.

 

Report back with a price if you don't mind. My friend has a new to him 92 W250 that needs one. Thanks

 

That'll do it. Did yours make crunchy noises and bind the steering column when it failed?

 

Yes, lots of crunching noises.
the shaft felt like it wanted to bind up also.

 

Hmmm, I have no cruise but have horn, no crunchies either....I wonder where to start???

 

Check the brake light switch first

 

Huh? Could it be malfunctioning and still give me brake lights?

 

Yes, There are several circuts in there that ar run paralel.

 

The clockspring is used for only the horn and cruise. The brake switch feeds the multifuntion switch(turn signals, wiper, headlight dimmer). That is a completely different switch and not any part of the clockspring.

Well there seems that the brake light switch should have some relation to things because it turns the cruise off when you hit em'.

 

Hello there. I'm new here. Just bought a 92 w250 with 250k on the clock from second owner for 800 USD. Changed my clock spring two weeks ago. cruise and horn works now. Also installed oogah horn for the helluvit.

 

Has any one had the situation where the horn works but not cruise ant it still be the clock spring?

 

It's possible but highly unlikely.

 

My cruise hasn't worked for 7 years now, never used it so I never bothered
to fix it. The horn went out just lately, I'll let you know if my cruise works
after I get the new clockspring an install it.

 

Yes,
My CC hasn't worked in seven years and the horn just failed lately.
I put in the new clockspring this morning and test drove it.
My CC and horn are working again now.

Clockspring cost me $189.00 CDN (dealer retail price was $236.00)
