I just found that on my low mileage 1983 GTV 6, that is has a fairly common
problem in the steering column. There's a bushing in there that wears,
allowing enough play so that the horn doesn't always work. Specifically, if I
push the top of the steering wheel away from me, no horn. If I pull the top
of the wheel toward me, it works fine.
I have a good used one coming and won't be taking things apart until that
arrives and survives inspection. I kind of expect the problem to be some
variety of poor bushing material and lack of grease on assembly, so I'm
strongly considering adding a grease fitting.
Has anyone else had to deal with this? Comments? How common a problem is
it?
