Starbo Moorley Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 take the wheel off (mark the straight ahead postion first !) then juat wire it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yes but the plug socket thing doesnt clear the boss Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 What is that for? I never had one when I removed my steering wheel :s lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 The horn wire go to that plug and the yellow is for airbag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 remove the steering wheel (looks like its still on in the pic) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Just binned mine. had that on my first v. the horn can still work you just need to make sure its earthed down to meatal inside the boss iirc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The wheel aint on. i know exactly.what he is on about, its a random unit behind the wheel that the cables from the oem wheel connect too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Do you just rip it off? The boss has got earth wire to horn plate thing , but the red and black horn wire where will i connect them if i bin the bit in the pic i know the go on horn button but what about other side Edited July 3, 2012 by Hawwy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebedee Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The 96 year glanzas have a different setup to the 97 ones the same as above when i did mine i removed to all and fitted a new button for the horn in the dash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Mines 96 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 If i take the full thing iff pictured then when putting me new steering wheel on ther is a massiv gap around the wheel because the steering cowl is shaped to the bit in picture and boss is smaller Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 That's an airbag squib, designed to stop the wires getting tangled when your turning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 So i i take it off how i wire the horn and how i get rid of massive gap it leaves Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Gap is probably unavoidable unless you make like a rubber spacer which I'm gonna try to, I'm sure if there was an easy way Socks would have done it lol ;)And the horn just needs wiring direct mate, so the connector you unplugged from the horn needs wiring to the horn button Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yes but the horn wires went straight from old horn buttons to the squib. Make me one too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 But what's on the other side of the squib(not taken mine off yet), I assume there will be the other side of the wires?All the squib does i have metal plates inside which stay in contact even if the wheel is turned without tanglingN haha I'll see what I can do, depends when myOmp repArrives.

Hawwy Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Okay mate i glt a genuine omp one , on the other side are 2 connector which go into back of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 One connector will be for the airbag the other for the horn I assume, you need to find which is which and use the horn wires to the horn button Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Ahh i get it now, just need a spacer how would i go about making one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 That I'm not 100% sure of, when I get around to fitting mine I'll see what I can find and let you know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaddyDutch Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Was thinking about this myself yesterday. because want to take off the oem wheel and put on an aftermarket one.I have this squib, and want to keep it on. As it helps with the cancellling indicators.Any ideas lads? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
