Exclamation installed my Nardi steering wheel, but now i have no horn..

after i removed the air bag and horn mechanisms along with it, i was left with only 1 wire (which to me looks like is only for the airbag ).

I didnt find a walk-though on this, Can anyone who has a race steering w/ hub installed explain to me how to get the horn to work?

i live in orlando and these tourists out here dont know how to drive..and i seriously need to check-them with a good honk and i can't.

the hub itself should have 1 or 2 wires coming out of it. just connect the female of the hub to the male on the back of the horn and it should work. i just installed my nardi/nrg QR/nrg hub today, but haven't tested it out to see if it works since my battery's dead.

there is only 1 wire at the bottom of the hub, and it has a male connector at the end of it which once plugged into the airbag. and that's IT.

wtf

no spade connectors? i'm using a nrg slim hub, srk-120h which works on a buncha toyotas, so i figured it'll work on ours. it came with 2 spade connectors, male/female, so I just connected one of em to the horn.
i'm hoping it works

Momo hub for the IS.

don't think that really matters though because i looked for the horn cables before i even installed the hub and saw nothing.

I ran into the same problem my man, I just drilled a hole in the side on one of those plastic peice's on my steering wheel colum. I put a cool little electrical conduit swtich there. it looks like 2 little black dots and when your finger touch's both it completes the circuit and off goes the train horn

This is THE best idea I've come across in a while.


Can someone help out the OP with a wiring diagram or something?! I'd like to see one too, as I have a Personal steering wheel and just bought the horn button for it...would like to know what the story is!!!

I mean worst case scenario, you'd have to run new wires from your steering wheel button to the horn circuit.

Mine worked. i had to take it apart b/c the steering wheel was a couple degrees off, so i took a pic of what it looks like.

just 2 spade connectors. my old ghetto long hub had 1 spade connector, but it worked either way.
i have no clue if this post helps in any way but i hope it did.

there is one wire the comes up right? usually thats the positive wire and you would need to run a ground/negative for it to work.
