A steering wheel mountable horn switch is provided which can be operated by either a substantially downward depression of a horn button or by a tilting of the horn button. The switch includes a stationary contact plate, a movable contact plate which is disposed above the staitonary contact plate and is urged away from the stationary contact plate, a device for electrically insulating the movable contact plate from accidental electrical contact with an upper side of the stationary contact plate and a horn button which is disposed vertically above the movable contact plate. The horn button includes a stem mounted to an underside thereof which extends through through-holes defined in each of the contact plates. Finally, a plate-shaped member is fixedly mounted at one end thereof to the horn button stem.
