Wiring the horn for aftermarket steering wheel, there must be an easy way

TOTalon · Jul 16, 2003

Let me begin by saying that I have no idea how the wiring for a steering wheel works. When I put a Momo wheel on my old CRX, there were no wires from the steering column that connected to the hub, just wires inside the hub that connected to the wheel. I have no idea how the signal gets from the button to the horn.

That being said, there must be an easy way to wire up a stock Momo horn to the car without ghetto rigging a striker and what not. I read this post:

where the guy rigged something up but he had to destroy the stock horn/airbag assembly in the process. Id rather not destroy that in case I ever want to throw the stock wheel back on. Does anybody have any thoughts? I really want a wheel but I need a horn to let people what bad drivers they are

u basically have to destroy the airbag wires from the clockspring for sure. its just the way it was made.

i used an electrical tester and found the pin from the clockspring harness which controlled the horn... used the harness end, spliced the wire and attached it to a piece of copper which touches the metal band from the wheel. (a striker perhaps as u say)

i think the only way to do it is to cut the harness from the clockspring and mess with it that way but i may be mistaken. it took me hours to figure out and bring myself to do it

Couldn't you get some sort of aftermarket horn? It wouldn't be the easiest way to do it but i think it would be possible. Then you could wire it directly to the horn. I'm sure someone makes a horn that doesn't need the factory wiring.

I know we shouldn’t be using the “H” word in these exalted chambers, but Honda makes a spring connector for aftermarket steering wheel adaptors. They call it “Honda Shoe Horn” it will cost you less than $6.00 Part # 35259-SH3-A02

You can see how professional the Honda Shoe Horn fits, this took me less than 5 min to hook up.

Here’s the finished job on my 1997 Spyder. I moved the cruise control to the cowl
