Help finding part? Horn switch
I cannot for the life of me find this part of the horn system. one of the many previous owners had reinstalled the steering wheel poorly and the button is a bit squished at it's base, so 40% of the time you push in on it, it sticks. This means if I plug in my horns... they just go off non stop.
I found the parts of the steering wheel, like this:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-5...0001&customid=
but cannot for the life of me find this part.
Edit to add 89 XJ with tilt steering wheel.

I found the same one that I think Saudade is posting.
But his link is not working for me.
Google Crown 4487816.
Says for '84 to '96 XJ with tilt.
But there is no metal piece in there like in your picture.
I did find this but no mention of working for an XJ or tilt for that matter.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jeep-Turn-S...4383.l4275.c10
But I did find this:
https://www.factorychryslerparts.com...uct=4445747#53
See how it says for CJ's etc.
Looks like the part number is J4487816 for an XJ in my '88 to '90 parts catalog.
Also seems to be the same part number for a YJ in my '88 to '90 parts catalog.
Also the same part number, #53, at that link for the CJ.
So it might be the same part.
But whether it is a tilt part or not at the Ebay link is unclear.

So that pin simply pulls out. The small ring around it that you can see in the picture holds the post and a spring below it. When I whacked mine, I was able to pull the pin, and stick the shank end of a drill bit into it to straighten it out and make it work again.
