So i checked the How to sticky and couldnt find anything

I got the wheel on but i was wondering how some of you wired up the horn?

The way i had to do it already failed lol.

also is there a trick to get the air bag light to not come on?

Thanks.

how did you wire up the horn so far??

the airbag.. there's a resister you can put in to eliminate it. or you can take out the light for it...

the way i wired it was a grounded the button with the bolt to the steering column and ran a wire from the clip for the stock horn to the horn button.

I left enough wire so i can rotate the wheel and no get snagged but i lost a connection. i have a wire going from the outside of the hub into the hub. not the best looking but seemed like the only way to run the wiring for the horn. Im sure there is something i missed. Also im not using the clock spring at all. Pretty sure thats what it is called.

yeah i don't have a clock spring either..

obviously there's gotta be a ground, and a power wire.. did you wire to the correct wire?

ya, it was working, but after driving the wire that we had going into the clip to get the power for the horn came out. Ill get a pic and show you how dumb the wiring looks but im not sure how there is any other way to run the wire.

How did you run yours and if you have pics that would be great too.
