paddy Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 As above has anyone managed to do this? I've only ran mine without the horn connected but I'm coming across more and more idiots each day that shouldn't be on the road and it's frustrating not having a horn! Or can I put a button for it somewhere? Doesn't have to be on the steering wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or can I put a button for it somewhere? Doesn't have to be on the steering wheelI too have started to notice more idiots too! I have the same issue atm, do you have the airbag model starlet? If so there's more difficulty to get the horn button working. I think you have to somehow get power to the brass ring on the back of your boss kit in order to get the power for your horn button! Some people have managed it and have left a few suggestions on my thread as regards the same issue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paddy Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yea it's a 98 glanza, where the boss is u can see a little stick poking up which when pressed activates the horn. I'm gonna look into maybe glueing something on top of the stick so I can press that. Shouting out the window only does so much lol I've looked into wiring up the button before with no joy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I used a little bit of wire that touches the metal on the back of the boss only works when the wheel is straight lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shouting out the window only does so much lol I've looked into wiring up the button before with no joySee mine didn't have the little stick part, either that or I just didn't notice it! Either way let us know if you get it sorted! I'll probably give mine a try when the quick release group buy arrives! I used a little bit of wire that touches the metal on the back of the boss only works when the wheel is straight lol That actually isn't a terrible idea xD surely if you have the wire so it is brushing along the ring it should work whichever direction the steering wheel is pointing at? I may have to try this idea out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paddy Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 My 96 had a stick bit but it's different on my 98. Can anyone tell me which of these wires are for the horn? Ideally I'd like to put a switch in the plastic housing round the steering wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paddy Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Answer to my own question is, the little black plug with a single yellow wire going to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westley Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I can't see the picture anyway :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paddy Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) It's tucked away in that picture I'll put one up later. All works well now was surprisingly easy to do Edited December 2, 2015 by paddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westley Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Brilliant! Hopefully I'll be able to seethe images and maybe even sort my issue out too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paddy Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 This is the one! I did an earth from the button to the boss then a long wire connected to the yellow one for the power, just make sure the plugged in to the button the right way round. The plug itself plugs into the black round piece with yellow stickers on it that u remove when fitting the boss. Just to be clear this is a 98 glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just to be clear this is a 98 glanzaYeah mine had the round black piece, it has a wire coiled around inside it which obviously allows it to spin when you turn the wheel, so basically just got to take power from the existing plug?

paddy Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 I literally cut the plug off and wired the horn button to that wire, was a long wire though to compensate for the movement of the steering wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
