Horn not working after aftermarket steering wheel install

HotKgon · 07-08-2020, 05:58 AM

Hi all,

Just picked up the following aftermarket steering wheel.

After installing it, the horn has stopped working. (Horn still works when I unlock and lock the car with the key fob)

The steering wheel controls (media and cruise control) are working normally.

What could the problem possibly be?

I had to transfer the hardware from the old stock (left) to the new aftermarket (right) wheel.

Would be grateful for any help possible! Thanks!

That is a very nice steering wheel!

Honestly Ive own my Z for 7 years I only use the horn to say hi to a sexy blonde jogging on the street!

I guess its really important to have it working.

Maybe loose connection of wiring or the airbag center assembly not fitted well.

Make sure your airbag is working I wouldn’t like you or know how to test that. Lol

More than likely one of the two connectors come off or is loose when you reinstalled the wheel.

Loose connector somewhere. Pull it off and doublecheck.
