Default momo steering wheel horn install help for 99 civic lx

Can someone please help me to make the horn work? I read the other thread for an EG install (http://honda-acura.net/forums/showth...light=diy+horn), but the wiring and the wheel are different from mine. I have a momo jet steering wheel with the momo hub. I live in southern california in buena park, and if someone nearby will do it for me, I will gladly pay for it (around $50 bucks). Please someone help, thanks!

Wouldn't the idea be practically the same. I checked out the site you've listed and it is a well written process. My setup is the same. Once you've taken out the steering wheel and the plastic hub (not sure exactly what they're called but its the one that allows the stock steering wheel to turn and not bind the wires) you'll need to find which wire is the horn on the yellow plug that plugged into the plastic hub. You could do this by grounding a wire and probing the wires on the yellow plug till you hear your horn. Tap on the horn wire and run it to the base of the steering assembly. You could you a shoe horn or any other conducting material like a spring, or a scavenged flashlight switch. The bottom of your momo hub should be all laid in a copper film and will be used to conduct the + power. Install hub, install steering wheel and wire up the button. . . . youre done.

hey jbs, thanks for the tips on making my momo steering wheel horn work, it took a bit of figuring out, but it wasn't hard at all, i think i was just too damn lazy to figure out what wire was the horn wire (it's a blue wire ). For the shoe horn thing, I used a metal piece (from under the switch in the barrel) from an old flashlight and it worked like a charm. The bad thing about my quick release adapter (it's a generic one made by SPW) is that it barely fits the momo horn piece and I had to shorten some wires and do some soldering work. I also had to drill into the momo hub itself to complete the loop with the second wire from the hub so it could be grounded. Anyways, this wheel kicks ***...now I just have to avoid this airbag removal felony problem...

I just used a paperclip. Very ghetto but you don't see it and my horn works. All you have to do is find out where the plug is for the horn and it's pretty easy from there.
