whats up evrybody

i have a 2001 tib and im trying to hook up the horn on my aftermarket steering wheel. im using a momo hub with a quick release and my question is... how does everyone route their wiring for the horns? no matter how i try it the wires for the horn get all tangled in the hub when i try to turn cuasing the black cover to slowy come off the hub.

any help would be greatly appreciated

I think your answer is on the DIY section. Did you already search there?

Go to any auto parts store and buy wire, quick splices and <span style="color:#FF0000">wire conectors</span> (i dont really know what these are called but they come in male and female so you can conect wires together) and add the necesary length to each wire for six turns (i believe it's six turns, three to the right and three to the left).

That's what i did and havent had any problems.

in the diy it wasnt very detailed

could be that the wire isnt long enough i only wrapped it around three time but where does everyone wrap the wires? inside the hub cover?

What i did is that i put the wires inside black wire loom wrapped some of the wire inside the hub and left some outside just enough so it'll wrap around the hub inside the plastic cover. It doesnt look sloppy having the wire loom around the wires.

Maybe i'll take a pic later today so you can see how i did it.

Well here are the pics...


You can see how much slack i left for it, that is with the wheel going straight.



This is with the wheel turning all the way to the right (three turns), it's wrapped all around the hub.


This is three turns to the left and it still has a some slack to it.

Here is how i did the conections, like i said before, you just need some wire, splices and wire conectors.





Hope they help any.

The only thing I can suggest is if you get tired of it, wire the horn to a simple push button switch and not the steering wheel.

Pretty much a last resort.

well im gonna try to do it the way lnheart just becuase bthere will be more wires goin to the steering wheel as my wheel has 2 buttons on it that will eventually be wired for nitrous and purge so im jus trying to figure out a clean way to make every thing work proplerly
