Default **URGENT HELP REQUEST**

Guys can someone help me please? Fitting my new steering wheel in my wrx bugeye followed a guide Id searched on here. Now I've put everything back together but have no idea where the horn wire goes as when I've just trial tested it airbag light goes out as it should yet horn doesn't work. I've taken a pic of the wire can someone tell me where I should connect this as I have my whole steering column apart lol. Thanks

Martin

Just tried it there mate as soon as I put the battery back on the horn would sound but not go off. As in a constant horn sound not intermittent.

That's what I would have thought too. But in the bottom pic, I THINK I see a terminal on the airbag base/underside.
Try that for that black wire.

If you look below what i believe is the airbag there looks to be a small silver clip. Could it fit on there? If my thinking is correct, that will act as a switch when you push the horn as it makes a earth??
