Glanza-Ben Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Me Glanza failed mot today, on number plate bulb as ones not very bright, headlight adjustment and no horn (I did try to blag that) but now I can't find my horn wiring to fit a switch I stripped the steering Column down but not a clue where it's to any one care to help with its location, Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Aftermarket steering wheel? The wire for the switch would be the 1 that originally went to the steering wheel so its a case of whipping off the wheel and the wires should be there or you will see them if they have been cut.

Jap91 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 See if you can find the horn, Usually bolted to slam panel or behind drivers side headlight,re-trace the wire back to steering mate wont be that hard.. Unless horn id gone altogether Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 I got the horn side but the steering wheel side had vanished it was there once when I had normal steering wheel lol the original one is a plug but can't source where it goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza-Ben Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm in the same boatIt's weird as I just unplugged the old steering wheel so god knows where it plugs back into Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 So surely the wires that you unplugged are still behind the wheel? Just trace them back and wire it into a switch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Na they ain't there I stripped the whole lot down last night and ain't got a clue the original horn is on a white plug but can't find where that ifs into on the column I would trace it back from the front but was hoping some one could shed some light the worse case is I spend a hour putting my own wiring from horn to dash tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep'd Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) On the original steering wheel (I had the airbag type) the horn wires are built into it. So when removed the wires went with the steering wheel. Sounds weird but true!So I think the bolts that hold the original steering wheel in place are some how earth and positive when bolted in Edited September 18, 2013 by Ep'd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StuDoc 72 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The ring thingis the contacts for the horn mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 The ring thingis the contacts for the horn mate.So how do I wire a switch into that since its a single wire plug :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
