WTB - I would like to find a WORKING OEM horn switch that screws to the bottom of the steering box. Mine is correct, but not working, Not concerned about it's water proofing or harness, just the make and break switching function.

Jeff,
I understand about wanting an OEM switch.
However, I’ve had one of these apart. If you are able
to find one in working condition it is my opinion that it is
only a matter of time before it fails.
The problem is exactly what you do not have a problem with. The
waterproofing. If the unit ever had moisture get into it the contact
surfaces will corrode over time. Again, it’s my opinion the design
has no foolproof way to prevent it, and repair is near impossible.
You would be well served to buy one of the new units sold by our
reputable vendors including Midwest Military or Arny Jeep Parts.
