★ Original type horn button wiring as supplied on WWII Dodge WC series military vehicles. Essential component for a correct horn installation.

Application

Suitable for Dodge WC series ½ ton, ¾ ton and 1½ ton vehicles with both open cab and closed cab configuration. The wiring runs from the horn button in the steering wheel through the steering column to the earth contact at the steering box.

Installation notes

The wire is routed through the inside of the steering column and exits through an opening near the steering box. The end is soldered to a brass ring held in place by a rubber grommet. Ensure the plastic insulator is correctly positioned to prevent short-circuiting to the steering column.

Compatibility

Specific to Dodge WC series vehicles. Not interchangeable with Willys MB/Ford GPW wiring — these have a different system with exit at the centre of the steering column. Suitable for both open cab and closed cab versions of the Dodge WC series.

Historical context

The Dodge WC series used a 6V electrical system where the horn button was an earth switch that activated the horn relay. This wiring system was used on all WWII Dodge ½ ton and ¾ ton Command Cars and Weapons Carriers.
