steering wheel ??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am getting my new exhaust on today and i figured i would have the people put on my steering wheel for me, because i dont have a steering wheel puller.

it is a steering wheel from a 94 full size blazer. They called me and told me that they couldnt hook up the horn. I told them not to worry about it, and that i would handle it. I know i have seen a thread on how to get the horn to work on these types of steering wheels.
can somebody show me the thread, or tell me how.

If I am remembering right on mine I took a bullet connector female I think and attached a wire to it with the spade connector for the horn on the wheel. I took the bullet connector and placed it over the spring loaded contact that is on the round black or white plastic piece that has the contact metal ring ran the wire through the hole and attached the other end to the horn button.

That is some kind of serious freaky. I'm going by tonight to pick up my truck that I just had an engine swap and dual exhaust installation. I also bought a steering wheel from a 94 Chevy and had them throw it on. They also complained that they couldn't get the horn connected. I told them I'd do it and I will...

...by going here.

Wish me luck, everybody. I've heard the new engine, but tonight I hand the man his money and drive away!

I just did a thread in the FAQ about the steering wheel in question and the horn.
You'll have to pull the wheel back off though most likely.

Sounds like a lot more work than the way I did it!

This is the same way I hooked mine up and it still works.

Good Luck

Pulling the wheel is no big deal. I bought a steering wheel puller for the hefty sum of $4 a few years ago

Longhorn Man · 12-10-2003, 01:43 AM
