copb8 97 Report post Posted April 22, 2020 Ok, so I've had my steering wheel off a half-dozen times now trying to locate and silence a relentless squeak when turning it. I finally located where I think it's happening. It's the 2 horn electrical contact pins that run across the bottom of the aftermarket hub (Scott Drake) conductor disk. I've now tried using grease and silicon spray to make it stop but it squeaks just as bad. What would be your next approach? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dream car 12 Report post Posted April 22, 2020 Put your old contact switch back, see if that would stop the squeaks. NO-OX-ID electric contact grease its better than dielectric for electric contact . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copb8 97 Report post Posted April 23, 2020 Ok, the dielectric grease didn't do the trick. Also tried another suggestion to take a very fine sandpaper and go over the surface at 90% to the grain and that didn't help. I guess I'll try the NO-OX-ID grease but I'm loosing hope.

1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted April 23, 2020 Dielectric grease has always worked for me when a horn contact button was squeaking as it rubbed against the contact ring. I've never tried the NO-OX-ID grease. Be a little careful with it as I read it is conductive. You don't need grease causing an electrical short.

Midlife 814 Report post Posted April 24, 2020 It can't hurt. Stuff the pie-hole with dielectric grease and it should stop squeaking, don't you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aslanefe 333 Report post Posted April 24, 2020 Those pins/contacts are ground flat right? How about chamfering the edges of them so the edge can't dig in and squeak? An other idea is to put solder on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
