Aftermarket steering wheel

Post by JamieRLatham »

Hi all just wondering how to connect the horn from a "Simoni Racing Steering Wheel Collapsible Boss Kit" bought from www.jccraceandrally.co.uk. there is only one black wire coming out of the boss kit and the horn push on my aftermarket steering wheel has 2 connectors. the horn works when I touch the end of the wire too the metal of the boss kit, looking for advice as im not a wiz kid with electronics. Cheers Jamie

Have you tried connecting both one at a time to see if the horn works? Im guessing you had a post 97 steering wheel with two horn buttons
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

It is 97 so only one horn push, the boss kit has only one wire coming out of it but the original corsa steering wheel had 2 ( red and green) with 2 connectors on the horn push. whereas the new boss kit has one wire coming out of it and 2 connectors on the horn push.

Connect one wire to the boss wire and just touch the crimps with the secound wire crimp and press the horn, if it works you need to cut both and crimp both together
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
