Changed Steering wheel, now no horn

[Eddie555]

So.. I had previously fitted a Sparco steering wheel and used the sparco horn button and the horn was working fine.. I changed the wheel today with an OMP wheel and used the same type of horn button but this time I forgot to take out the metal spring clip in the horn button which I know can cause a dead short problem... I didnt hear any fuse pop when I pressed the horn and I've checked every fuse on the car and cannot find any blown fuse anywhere... My question is could I have blown the squib?

Is the only way to tell if the squib is blown by removing the wheel and boss then inspecting the wires?

Thanks. On mine I had removed the spring clip from the omp horn push and it’d worked fine for a few months. Shorted out yesterday for no apparent reason. Now can’t sound the horn by touching the + and - wires and no blown fuse, so guessing the squib has gone.

Might go for the ph1 stalk, anyone know if that’s plug and play with a ph2 cruise control squib?

Like a computer problem, just turn it off and leave it for a bit so it can sort it self out.

Yeah but you need to swap the indicator return mechanisms round.

Is that easily done?

Yup, been a while since I did it, think its some torx screws maybe just phillips to open it up then the inside has some springs, is a straight swap. Wear gloves as the grease they use inside stains yellow.
