Hi Guys
I have an 2003 Sti and have taken off the OMP steering wheel and replaced it with the origonal but have found that the horn does not work. Think the switch is missing

Can anyone help me find one of these and explain where it goes
also the airbag light has not went off.

totally new to scoobys so any help would be great

Regards

Was the airbag light on when the OMP wheel was in place?

if not, the previous owner may have inserted a resistor, which will need to be removed.

As for the horn, it works by the horn being live all the time and the horn SWITCH just makes the earth. This provides a path for the current so that the horn sounds.

Did it work with the OMP wheel?
You need to look for SINGLE wires running up to the wheel which goes to an earth point.

Hi thanks for the help

The OEM steering wheel was fitted when I purchased the car and the Airbag light was on, The horn did not work, He also gave me the original steering wheel so this morning I put it back on, Connecting the airbag harness and what looks to be an earth, Those were to only 2 connectors on the plastic control center that goes on before the steering wheel.

I disconnected the battery while connecting
But after all in place the airbag light is still on and the horn still does not work

its got me baffled

Any help would be great

Airbag: dealers I'm afraid, you can't mess with those unless you know what's what.
And it will now fail an MoT with the light on.

As for the horn, do you have a basic cirtcuit tester or multimeter?

hi mate, just a thought, is the drivers side seatbelt linked into the airing system as this too has been removed and i know it has the pre tension system and some sort of electrical harness. May try fitting this again to see if i can clear the fault. It doing my head in. also the steering wheel does anyone know are there just 2 wires that connect. The airbag wire and what looks like an earth black wires. Thanks for the help
