Default How To? Wire A Momo Horn

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=273474

My uncle and I were following this thread for my Momo wheel with mugen horn button, but we didn't have the piece the OP talked about. "1. Start off by getting a piece known as a shoe horn, PART #35259-SH3-A02, from any Honda dealer. It comes from the horn trigger of the 88-91 civics. It will look like this. PIC 11."

We figured out a trick to ground the Mugen horn button, but we need to know how to get the horn working. Do we have to order that part from Honda?





TIA, and I am tired of searching, so no flames please.

My buddy and I fab'd up a little mount for the wires to connect to for power because the wires kept getting caught and ripped when turning the wheel. I will try and get some pics for you tomorrow.

Yea me and my buddy spent hours trying to figure out a way to make this work because I wanted a horn. A little trip to sears hardware for materials and the project started. Now my wheel makes a little squeeking noise when turning but if the radio is on you cant tell. But my HORN WORKS!

how does this one look?

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by JDM-EJ1 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I've noticed a lot of these threads going around, and a lot of misinformation, or just lack information period. The hardest part about this for me was finding which wire was the horn wire. I did this on my EJ1 ('94 Civic coupe), this may or may not be the same for your Del Sol/EK chassis.

Tools needed:

-Philips screwdriver.
-10mm socket w/ extension.
-Speaker wire.
-Male/Female connectors.
-Small strip of metal.
-Multimeter.

Let's start by removing the kick panel under your steering wheel. Remove these 3 screws as shown here. We'll also want to disconnect our battery as well.



Next, get your head by your pedals and remove these two 10mm bolts that hold the metal peice that spans under your steering column.




Remember when you installed your aftermarket wheel and you had to remove that SRS cable reel? The part where the SRS cable reel connected to the SRS wire loom, that's where we're going to find our horn wire. This is where were going to want to use our multimeter to find which wire is hot.

The horn wire is ALWAYS going to be hot. Basically how your OEM horn works, is when one of the horn buttons is pressed it simply makes a ground to complete the circuit and it sounds your horn. This is what were going to accomplish here. Please excuse the shitty picture.

My SRS cable loom had 5 wires, your's may have 4 depending on if you have a DX/CX etc. My horn wire was located on the very far left side of my SRS cable loom. Make sure you find the correct wire, I messed up on mine the first time around.



Once you've found it, connect a male, or female connect to the end of it. Once done lets go up to your steering wheel and remove the top plastic peice on it. Remember where your SRS cable reel connected to? Let's connect our thin metal strip over that hole and put a screw through that hole to hold it in to place.

Now, we'll also want to make sure our metal strip is touching the brass ring on the backside of our hub as seen here.



That brass hub ring connects to the wire that is coming out of our hub, we'll get to that later though.

Once you've made sure the the metal strip is firmly against the hub ring and it's screwed into place. Tuck a peice of speaker wire under the screw, so it's pinched between the screw and the metal strip. However, also ground the the wire to make sure your horn works.



Once that's done, use a male/female connected to connect to your horn wire that we found earlier.

Okay, so were all done with that for now. Now, everyone's horn is going to be different with the way it makes the connection. For mine, I had my hub wire and 2 wires coming out of the back of the hub connector plate. I connected the hub wire to one of the wires, and grounded the other wire. I then connected my horn button and everything worked! Now, just put everything back together, and you're golden!

If anyone has any ideas/comments to make this better. Please PM me directly, or feel free to post them up.

Haters, **** off. </TD></TR></TABLE>

yea it's kinda hard to explain but you just need something conductive to hit the back side of the wheel/hub- Like the piece of metal in this pic



My setup was a lot smaller than that though as mine was only secured by one side. If I still had my car I would go an take pics of it for you.
