access to the horn wire
I need to get access to the horn wire. At a point where it just enters the steering column. (Want to connect a coiled wire for the removable steering wheel). Anybody knows which wiring loom to attack? (1987).
TIA |

Are you using a quick release? If so which one? You can pick up the horn button wire at the horn contact ring at the splined shaft of the wheel. Remove the wheel and the 26mm nut. Search steering wheel removal or Momo steering wheel install. It's part of the turn signal cancel piece assembly. There is a metal ring with a wire coming off it leading to the horn button in the wheel. Pushing the horn button switches ground activating the relay. What year is your car?

You are right. Since I asked the question, I pulled the steering wheel to look at it. Easiest would be to route a wire from the fixed contact.
I plan to use a Rennline quick release with a Rothsport hub. Both of it did not have a street car in mind. I think I can modifiy the Rothsport hub to still accept the contact ring, first of all to keep the cancelling mechanism. With a little thinking in mind, the hub could have been machined like that in the first place. The Rennline release is a little more complicated. In addition to fact that it has no build-in contact for the horn, using a Momo steering wheel it is designed for, there is no room for the horn button. I think I need to fabricate a little spacer to make room for the Momo horn button. If I would have know all this before, I would have chosen a different path. But now I have all these relative expensive parts to be used... |

The wire for the horn is part if the turn signal lever harness. I believe it is brown & yellow.
