Steering Wheel Boss Kit Install Help

[eXc]

Hey Guys.

I bought a nardi wheel and a Nardi boss kit which is supposed to be for my R32 GTST.

After pulling the old one apart, there is 3 contacts that are used for the horn. The previous boss has 3 seperate contact for those, the new one has only one. When I tighten the nut to hold the boss on, the horn goes off.

Pics are attached. If anyone has pics of what it should look like, please post them up. From what I can tell I have the wrong boss kit...or have I missed something?

Cheers

Hmmm....I have done a number of these now and I'm pretty sure you haven't taken the original boss kit out yet. The item shown in the second photo showing the 3 contacts is part of the original boss kit. This needs to be removed. Once the boss kit is on, there should be a 12V supply on the circular copper disc. This will feed power to a wire that is integral with the boss kit and the wire should have a spade connector. The spade connector should be joined to the back of the horn button and there should be another tab on the back of the horn button (from memory) that will require another wire to be connected to it which is then earthed.

It has been a while since I last did one....

Hope this helps.

The 2nd picture shows the final piece of the boss kit. if I take it off, there is just a peice of plastic left. All the horn wiring plugs into the part seen in the second picture. Then the part in the first picture attaches to it, which then attaches to a plug which goes to the horn.

Anyone else got any input?

umm thats wierd, I thought the 32 boss has only 1 contact (gtr does). 3 contacts are normally used for 1 horn + 2 other switches in newer cars, eg stereo controls)

Hmm...well it had 3, and it's a stock wheel and everything....

Anyone else pulled theirs apart? did it look like this? Don't suppose you have any photos?
