Dorman Steering Wheel Horn Contact replacement 924-088 — direct-fit, durable conductivity

The Dorman 924-088 steering wheel horn contact is a direct-fit replacement part that restores horn switch function by matching the original fit, appearance and electrical contact design.

This horn contact is made to replace a worn or failed original unit on compatible vehicles. Designed and assembled with durable materials, it aims to deliver consistent electrical conductivity and long service life while maintaining the factory look inside the steering wheel assembly. Use your vehicle details in the garage tool to confirm compatibility before purchase.

How does this part restore a non-working horn?

The horn contact provides the electrical path between the steering wheel horn pad and the vehicle’s horn circuit. When the contact wears, becomes corroded, or breaks, the circuit can open and the horn won't sound. Replacing the contact re-establishes reliable connectivity so the horn activates when pressed.

• Direct replacement for the original horn contact design
• Cleans and renews contact surfaces to improve conductivity
• Durable materials resist fatigue and everyday wear

What should I check for vehicle fit before buying?

Confirming fit avoids installation issues. Enter your vehicle’s make, model, year and trim into the garage tool or compatibility guide to ensure this Dorman contact matches the factory assembly. The part is engineered to mirror the original dimensions and mounting points for a straightforward swap.

• Use the garage tool with exact vehicle year, make and model
• Compare mounting holes and connector style to the original unit
• Check steering wheel trim and airbag mounting compatibility

How is the Dorman contact built for longevity?

The 924-088 contact uses quality components chosen to withstand repeated use and electrical load. Its construction reduces the chances of premature failure from fatigue or minor corrosion, helping the horn system remain dependable over time. Dorman backs this with decades of aftermarket experience and product testing.

• Manufactured to match original appearance and dimensions
• Engineered to resist common wear mechanisms

What tools and time are required for installation?
