Buncers Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 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 ? Quote

Buncers Posted January 26, 2004 Author Report Posted January 26, 2004 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: Quote
Guest EVSS Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 jack the vehicle up slightly then steering will move or park on gravel or pull like eck. (joke) Quote
