Horns, Horn Light Rod & Components

Horns, Horn Light Rod & Components – Classic Ford (1932–1979)

The horn and horn light rod assembly provides both audible signaling and, on many early Ford applications, steering column light control for classic Ford cars and trucks from 1932–1979. This category includes classic Ford reproduction horns, horn buttons, horn rings, contact plates, insulators, retaining springs, light rod components, and related hardware used within the steering wheel and column system.

These parts work together to complete the electrical circuit when the horn button or ring is pressed, grounding the horn relay and activating the horn. Fitment can vary by model year, steering wheel design, column type, and electrical configuration. Early banjo-style wheels, horn light rod systems, and later integrated horn ring assemblies use different contact arrangements, springs, and retaining hardware. During restoration, worn insulators, weak horn springs, or incorrect contact plates can lead to intermittent operation or poor alignment within the steering wheel hub. Proper selection helps restore reliable function and factory-correct appearance.

As a family-owned business serving classic Ford restorers since 1978, C&G Ford Parts brings decades of hands-on product knowledge to every category. We understand how these systems fit and function beyond what’s written on paper.
