Default NRG QR + 1 wire horn button = HELP!

As title states, I have an nrg quick release whish has two wires for a 2 wire horn button(Momo, Sparco, etc). The problem is, I have a Personal steering wheel which has a 1 wire horn button.

Can someone tell me what I'm supposed to do with the second wire? I'm due for an inspection in a few days

That's what I did, but it keeps blowing the under hood fuse. I guess I need to pull the bumper cover off & make sure my horn isn't dead lol

You've probably already looked at the NRG website instructions but I thought I'd post it just in case. This is how I hooked mine up and it works flawlessly.

if its blowing the fuse out a stronger fuse
for example if it says to put a 10 put a 15 instead.
that should solve your problem

shouldn't need a stronger fuse, that is asking for trouble. If it's blowing fuses, there is a short in the circuit, find it.

it doesnt blow the fuse immediately, it only blows the fuse if you hold the horn button down for a few seconds. im thinking maybe the horn itself could be bad, as the car is virgin and no wires have been touched.

it's drawing too much current, you need to diagnose it figure out why it's drawing more current then it should be.
