Anyone had to fit one of these. The cover from mine broke off. Have bought a new one, but not sure how to fit it.

 

Where is the connector and is it accessible ?

 

Any experience out there ?

Decided to fix my horn button this weekend.

 

Disconnected battery - as suggested - waited an hour, to make sure that air bag was discharged.

 

Attempted to remove screws from back of steering wheel, 1 wouldn't budge.

 

Moved to plan B:

 

Pulled out old (broken) horn as far as I could through hole. cut wires as close to old horn as possible.

 

Connected new horn button to old wires (solder and heatshrink). Pushed horn in - works great.

 

Here's a funny - Haynes manual says - disconnect battery, then turn steering wheel to get access to screws at the back of the wheel, first one way then the other - duh - my wheel won't move without power steering.

 

Do the guys at Haynes, ever use their manual (ie test it, eat their own dogfood)

 

:angry:

Buncers, its stiff but it can be done relatively easily. Get the wife to do it for you!

Might be better if I get her to pick the car up at the front instead - or just stop jumping on my horn so it don't get broke again. :D

Did mine the other day an absolute doddle

 

Undo 2 screws at the back alan type ones

Lift up gently on airbag there is enough slack on the connecting ribbon to let it sit on steering wheel

And hey presto do your stuff and put it back!

1 screw to earth and all others are push on

It looks like an expensive motor car again

Not a Nissan

 

Dangerous ( not if you nice and gentle )

 

Or ask you friend to hold it OH ER MISSIS
