Horn wire connection for aftermarket steering wheel?

Good morning,

I attached a wiring diagram for you of the horn. The light green wire is the wire from the body control module that you need. Check out the images (Below). Please let us know how it goes

You are the best. Thankyou so much!

You are welcome.
Always glad to help.

Roy

One more question if you don't mind. I have a resister to trick the airbag light to go off. Where would I find the connector under the dash to feed the resister to, or can it be done from the 2 airbag wires on the clockspring.

It can be done at the clock spring.

Roy

Thank you once again Roy. You saved me a big headache.

You are welcome.

Roy

Roy, there is no light green wire for the horn coming from the clock spring. Only the plugs that go to the airbag which when I put the resistors in both of them, my airbag light finally went out. What I missing here? Thank you

Can you post some pictures of the clock spring connections? I need to see the one from the body to the clock spring.

Roy

Did you get the pics?

Got it. I need to see the other side of the clock spring. that is where the color you need comes in.

Roy

I'm going to need some time to disassemble that. I will get back to you soon.

No worries. I will be here for you.

Roy

Roy, on the top rear of the clock spring there is a light green wire with a white strip. I also provided a pic of the rear bottom connection.

The light green with the white strip is the one.

Use an ohm meter to determine the output wire on the other side.

Roy

I tapped into the green and white wire and touched it to the steering column, which should set the horn off. I got nothing. I had to buckle it up because I have to go to work. What you said should've worked. I don't get it. I'll be in touch at a later time. Thanks Roy.

Okay, I will be here.

Roy

Good morning Roy. I'm not going to work on the horn again today because I am waiting on a quick release adapter and only want to disassemble this one more time. If I should get that light green wire to trigger to the horn, it is connected to the back of the clock spring and does not spin, therefore any extension wire to it going to the horn button will twist around the steering wheel. When I removed the stock wheel, other than the airbag connections, there was only one other plug with with many pins that I had to disconnect to pull the wheel off. You can see it in one of the past pics I sent you of the front of the clock spring. That plug did not have that light green wire. The horn signal must have been sent through one of these plugs and once again the only two plugs in the back of the horn were for the airbag. This is why it's all confusing to me. The horn needs to be connected to something that rotates with the clock spring. I truly appreciate all your help on this and hopefully we can come up with a solution. I can't find a diagram anywhere of what the pins (color codes) go to on the clock spring connections that rotate with it. I can always clip off the existing plug attached to the stock wheel to plug into the clock spring if one of the leads go to the horn, although I doubt it because I think it's for the audio and cruise control buttons.
Thankyou, Rob.

I bought an aftermarket steering wheel and need to connect the horn. The ground is self explanatory, but I don't know where the lead is coming from the clock spring for the signal. I know that behind the clock spring the horn signal wire is the light green one, but that doesn't rotate with the clockspring. The only 2 wires left on the clock spring after removing the stock wheel are the 2 airbag connectors which each contain 2 wires each in them. Being that the horn is in the airbag, would one of those 4 wires be for the horn signal. I've been trying to figure this out for days and don't care for driving without a working horn.

Good morning

It is Roy again.

The light green wire that is at the connector for the airbag, does it have power with the key on? If you looked in the diagram I sent you, it comes from the body control module and when it sees it grounded, it will set off the horn.

As far as the wire to the clock spring, you will need to ohm out the pin in the clock spring for the light green wire and find out which wire it goes to on the other side.

Roy

Ok, thanks again Roy. I'm going to try this again in a couple of hours. I will let you know the outcome. Thankyou for getting back to me so fast.

Before I do get started, the only open female connector on the clock spring is for the rest of the steering wheel controls, audio and cruise control. The 2 airbag leads that have 2 wires each in them, do not have a light green wire. They are variations of a tan color. Both of those now have a resistor in them to turn off the airbag light. Being that those airbag connectors are the only thing going into where the horn is, how can it be that the horn signal isn't coming from one of them. This is what I find confusing.

The light green is on the input side. It will not be the same color on the other side.

That is why you need to ohm it out and find out where is comes up.

Roy

Gotcha!

Keep me updated when you can.

Roy

Roy, I found the pin on the clock spring for the horn signal. It was on the opposite end of where it plugs into the stationary part of the clock spring 8n the back. I made a connector and slid it onto the pin and it is secure. When I touch it to a ground, the horn sounds, but when I touch it to the ground of the hub, I get nothing. The horn should sound when even touching both wires together. I enclosed a picture that was sent to me by NRG of what the connections should look like and that is what I have. Why shouldn't I be getting a good ground where the steering wheel bolts to the column? That always works.

Then that hub is not grounded . If it was, the horn would work.

Roy

Okay. I will come up with something to provide a ground. Thanks for all of your help Roy. Have a great weekend!

You as well.

Always glad to help.

Hi Roy. The steering wheel project came out great with all your help. I was wondering if you could give me some info. On the next project. There is no rush, so take your time on finding the info. Of course i lost my cruise control going to an aftermarket wheel. I'm going to rig up a new area on the dash to wire up the cruise control. I bought 3 LED switches. One regular on/off and two momentary switches. I need to know, whether on the column or under the dash, which color wires are for cruise on/off, set, resume, accel and ignition. I believe each button needs to be connected to the ignition wire. The brake should also still turn off the cruise, but not concerned about that if i can still turn it off from a button. If you can be a help towards this, it would be fantastic. Thank you

Okay, I can only deal with one issue per question. These are the site rules.

If you could start a new question from the beginning, I would be glad to help you with this issue.

Roy

Roy, I put in another question.

I would appreciate it Roy. You seem a bit more knowledgeable. I know what I ask for are probably not everyday questions, but I can't find diagrams over the internet. I need to know the color wires and where I can find them on the column for the ignition, Cruise on/off, Set and Resume. 4 wires total, so I can rig up new cruise control switches being I lost my steering wheel switches. I've seen this done before on a Honda, but I don't know the color wires for my car. The fella that did it used regular 2 terminal on/off switches. I am using 5 prong Halo LED's, so I am also confused on how to wire them. The switches need a positive and a ground to light the LED. I already have them installed and they light up when pressed. 1 latching switch and 2 momentary switches. Being that I already have a positive lead, can I just forget about the ignition wire because a positive lead needs to be connected to the other terminals that need each one of the cruise control wires. Hope you can understand what I mean. I'm just confused because a switch needs two leads to turn it on and off. How would I connect a single cruise control wire to a 5 prong plug. Anyway, no rush on this, so take as much time as you need to figure it all out. Its giving me a brain cramp. Lol. And thank you once again.

You need to respond on the other post.

Roy

I did with pics. Where did it go? I don't have the diagrams you sent me either just a few minutes ago. I am at work right now and might be a little delayed getting back to you.

Found it. My response to your last post is still there.

Okay, LOL.

Roy
