have you put the gold plate at the rear of the wheel on properly?

in lamens terms im a bit of a electrical noob

take the steering wheel off, flip it over and there is a gold/brass ring, this could be bent and making the horn sound, this has happened with mine and every time i turn the wheel it sounds the horn

[Asa-James]

or even a fault with the horn push its self

[jakeufton]

well its an aftermarket wheel momo f1 concept or summit does this make a diffeence?

[Asa-James]

the brass ring will be on the back of the boss if it has an inbuilt horn.

might be worth rigging up a separate horn push on your dash to eliminate the steering column element, thats way you know where the wires go

[jakeufton]

ill have a go wish it had a normal bloody steering wheel lol

buy a normal wheel, 3 spoke goodness. i have a horn push here for one, no wheel tho.

and yeh as above i have had the same problem with the gold ring. but sorted it in the end.

[pikey1986]

i reconnected it for its mot and took the advisory for 'loose connection' on the chin as it only had a small kink in the ring

[jakeufton]
