i got my car about a month ago and it has an aftermarket SAAS wheel

the middle part of the horn pulls out and it has two mettal prongs sticking out from the removable part

and then a wire on the inside of the hole in the wheel where the horn is ... with a spade like connector... but there is only one

so yeh. i dont have a horn and i hate it.

does anyone know how to fix this?

or should i just buy a new wheel?

Checked the fuse? Did the horn work when you got it? I don't know whether the skyline horns are negatively switched or not.. I think if they are negatively switched there will only be one wire.. ugh someone else may be able to help you :blink:

i know my horn only has 1 wire going to it, pretty sure the steering wheel only has the one wire coming off it to.

try swapping the wire to the other terminal and see if that works.. if not, try the fuse as suggested before, or even try another horn!

or... get your bf to do it for you :blink:

I had the same problem with my r32, check all of the above as well as look at the horn itself (usually in front of the radiator) The wire may have fallen off there or check the front of the horn is not touching anything, this will stop it working too. If none of the above work let me know and ill see what i can do. Also you can see if the button is stuffed by touching the wire on a ground (the bolt that holds the wheel on should do) if the horn sound this way and not with the button you can just get a new button.

Check the fuse first. Change it out (even if it looks ok). If that doesnt solve it then :

The one wire on your boss kit is a positive wire that links up to your horn. There is no negative wire, because your car is negative earthed, and so doesnt need it. To be honest it doesnt sound like an issue at the steering wheel end. Just get a test pen and check that the single wire has power going to it.

If the single wire has power going to it, then you'd check the horn side of things. Pull the wire off the horn and check it isnt corroded etc. Then get a test pen / multimeter and bridge between that wire and the body of the car. Get someone to press the horn inside the car and check that the wire is getting 12 volts. If it isnt theres a wiring / fuse issue. If it is, but you connect the wire back up to the horn and no go, then the horn is stuffed.

Hope that helps a bit.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
