Just installed Momo steering wheel

and I had trouble figuring out how to get the horn hooked up. Steering wheel is on and working fine, an I'll probably get an airhorn soon, but was just wondering if anyone else had run into this....This should probably be in tech forums..sorry...but hey, you can get a momo hub adapter for our cars for just about any momo steering wheel....you just have to tell em it's for a racecar...lol.

I put in mine yesterday. I also bought a new center cap for the wheel since I got in custom painted and noticed that the replacement cap had different connectors that the original one. The original one had two prongs on the back one +ve and the other -ve.

The new one had only a +ve prong and a piece of metal coming out one side of the cap. That's for the ground.
I simply swapped the momo logo plates between the two.

I'm assuming you don't have this option.

What you're going to need to do is tape or solder a wire that connects that piece of metal to the prong that sticks out on the plate that goes between the wheel and the hub itself. That prong is for grounding, OR you might be able to bend that prong so that it touches the piece on the cap without connecting another wire.

Then simply hook up the original cable to the +ve prong on the back of the cap.

The negative connector must make a connection to somewhere metal on the hub or the horn will not work.

Hope this works and I didn't confuse ya!
