Steering wheel replacement


Josh

Recommended Posts

This has been covered many times before, but I can't find the answer I need.

 

I've got the wheel and everything off, but I'm left the with connector for the cruise control, airbag and the horn wire.

 

The boss I have won't fit on with this there, and I don't see without it, how I can get the horn wire through the boss.

 

Here's a picture of what I'm left with when I'm ready to put the boss on, and the boss itself;

Any help is appreciated, and it's not me being dumb as I had my Dad trying to help but we couldn't work it out as none of the guides show this plastic ring and connector as being a problem.

aha obviously! but it should of have with a little box that plugs into the airbag connector, and there should be a space somewhere that allows you to thread the horn connectors through the the horn :)

 

oh and you only need to remove the steering wheel. not the cowling surrounding the stalks :p lol

Lol, I was trying to see how the wires were routed and if there was any way to remove the connector and just have the horn wire coming through :p

That looks to be a non airbag boss Josh' date=' airbag ones are conical at the end to go through the airbag slip ring. Their a piece of the proverbial normally[/quote']

 

Dang! Thought this may be the case.

 

Ah well, I'll look at getting an airbag one :)

Or just not have them connected...

 

But the connector would still be in the way, and the plastic ring with the yellow sticker on it doesn't appear to be removable. I also don't know how the horn wire would be routed through the middle of the boss in that case, unless I take the whole thing apart.
