I have a 91 crx with a grant gt steering wheel. No horn, how do I pop out the horn button or open the wheel up enough to see what I have to do? Is there something that needs to specifically be done with an aftermarket wheel?

thats the wheel.

if worse comes to worse, i have no problem completely taking it off in favor of a stock wheel, i just need my horn. if i were to take it off...how would i do that? I think there's an aftermarket hub on there too.

 

Pull out the allen screws around the button.

This should seperate the horn from the hub, then you can look at the button portion and make sure everything is connected for your horn, if so and nothing is working, there should be what I think is a 16 mm but might be more or less - locking nut that holds the hub down to the column. Remove hub.

Inspect this area and see whats going wrong with the horn. there's a little piece on the left side of the column that makes contact with the OEM wheel or an aftermarket hub to make the horn connection.

 

That horn buttons pulls straight out....you do NOT need to loosen those screws.
Make sure the black wire is connected to the horn button. There are 2 different places it can go on the button, Try both spots.


Also the grant kit collar must be on all the way to make a metal to metal contact with the steering column. The ground then transfers to the adapter kit wire which runs to your button.

Check your horn fuse in the box!

Its not that hard cause there is not much to it with grant. Its a good solid kit compared to aftermarket crap on ebay
Take some more pics so i can see

 

is it as simple as it seems? does that wire need to be stripped a bit and connected/soldered to that broken piece on the horn itself?

 

Yup, you got it, go to the hardware store and get a small crimp on female spade connector to slide onto the clip. You will probably need a splice/butt connector to lengthen the wire since it looks like it was cut. You probably only need an inch on 2 more of wire. Crimp on the connector and connect, enjoy the horn.
Heres my super fabulous diagram

 

Sorry, I've got one of the crappy ebay ones so I thought you had to do the same and pop it out.

Not disconnecting the steering wheel to fix the horn FTW!

 

ill try to answer this question when i get back from school. i got a hub with nrg quick release (yes a 5 hole pattern) and a GT grant wheel as well.

 

I have a gt grant as well, my horn doesn't work for some reason but the wire is connected, it must be the fuse!

 

I ran into this same issue with the sedan I picked up that already had the Gt Grant steering wheel installed on it. So I'm not sure how the factory horn was run but here is what I found.

The wire on that copper disk was not connected/soldered correctly because I could ground the switch so the horn would sound on the actual disk but when I hit it on that wire nothing happened.

The second item of interest is this.....the horn wire from the factory wiring doesnt run through the steering shaft. The only way I figured out that it might work was to coil up a wire running from the factory horn wire into the steering wheel and ground using the button which I wired to one of the bolts that holds the steering wheel on the hub. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Something doesn't seem right.

Another thing I noticed was that there seemed to be TWO wires for the horns that I found with same coloration running to the turn signal/wiper base.

So in the end I simplified things and I just put a horn button on the dash. I'm still a little confused on the correct way to wire it up but then again I never saw what the setup was like from factory.
