ninefourteener Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I bought a new steering wheel, and modified the hub so it would fit. It came with 2 horn buttons..... 1 with 1 terminal the other with 2 terminals there is one black wire attached to the "disc" on the front side of the hub. There is another wire that the kit came with..... not attached to anything. I'm assuming it would be used with the 2-terminal horn button. which is it? How is it connected???

The Beast I Drive Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 EA71 Brat horns IIRC are a switched ground circuit, with one wire. Typically, there is a little plastic plate under the hub with a metal ring in it that a wire fromt the column attaches to, then in the hub there is a wire that is held against the plate with a spring. The wire in the hub is then attached to a metal plate that is attached to the horn button, and when the horn button is pushed the metal plate contacts the hub, completeing the ground circuit. Also make sure the ground wire that screws into the column is attached. -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninefourteener Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 THANKS!!! I bet that ground wire is my problem. I got the car home in October of 2008.... and immediately tore it apart. I just recovered the dash and put it back in this pst weekend. I plugged all the connectors back, but remembering everything was tough. Where (approximately) is that ground wire?
