Fitting Horn + After Market Steering Wheel

[mikefxgt]

Evening All

Well how silly and prob how easy it might be, I'm having a bitch of a time trying to get my horn working on a after market steering wheeel.

The wheel itself is no worries, all going good, but I need to install the horn to get a WOF and for safety reason as well.

I have cut into the facoty wire that the horn uses and connected that on to the horn button and I have to run another wire from the horn button to under the wheel to make a ground cicruit. My problem is, the cord gets stuck and tangled when the wheel is being turned, I have a bit of spare cable allready looses inside the boss kit, do U need to have like a meter spare just haggin inside it ???

Sorry its sorta hard to explain, if some is able to take some photos of there setups it would be great.

For ya info, the car is 1994 FXGT Corolla, AE 101 series, the wheel is the spoline that repco sell and its one of there boss kits also.

Thanks for any help
Mike

I KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT i went through the same thing and ended up putting a button on the steering colum by the windscreen wipers
(legal) u can buy the button for the steering wheel and it should work !!!! if not go see repco

On the Momo kit I've used on my Rover, the horn is earthed via the boss kit so only one wire (12v +ve) runs up the centre to the horn. The boss kit in turn earths through the steering cloumn to which it is bolted.

yeah something you might wanna do is check continuinity though the earths.

thats from the wheel itself to the chassis... see if its actually grounding...
and checking the fuse to see if for any reason you have blown it...

good luck

Are you sure you have the right bosskit for your car Mike?

I know there are 2 different ones for the corollas/levins/truenos

- one is for the ae82 corolla and the ae85/86 levin/trueno
- the other is for all else after that (ae92, 101, etc etc) <------- you should have this one!

The spline on both is the same. The only difference between the two is the horn contacts where the bosskit meets the steering column are different.....

so the ae82 one will bolt up, just the horn wont work. The bosskits themselves should make the earth, and you take the power from the column... i did the whole steering wheel swap in my 101 fx in 10 min

Hiya

Thanks for the help, had a closer look and we are pretty sure the bos kit is different, trying to get it replaced by repco is going to be tricky, dam it after 2 months, grrrr, might just stick the facoty 1 back on to get a WOF

Hiya

Yep, had the wrong boss kit, repco was going to give me refund but I didn't have my card as I choped it up lol spent to much to I just exchanged it for other goods. Ended up getting one for Japrace, nice price $65, so all is good and now I have a horn and a WOF, yipeee, now its just the wait and c game to get my licience taken from me.

Cheers
