Post by Jay18 » Sun Nov 03, 2013 11:58 am

I know a few of you have aftermarket steering wheels and I just wanted to know how your done the horn button wiring, I've ordered a steering wheel boss that it says comes with horn button so how is it wired in?

Normally it's just one wire that is earthed when the button is pressed.

Wiring mine was a bugger so I just wired it to an old button on the dash. For the MOT you must have a horn but it can be anything. Even a bugle.

Just get a button like this circled in green mate as this operates the air horns :)
