grr
right i changed to an aftermarket steering wheel last year on taking the original renault out i ripped out the horn box thing its like a black box with the circuit inside which allows the horn to have a complete circuit and still move the steering wheel,
i thought ahh i'll forget it for now and sort out a horn later, MOT is now due in 3 weeks so i thought right i best do it so i took off the steering wheel and boss and found the connections for the horn quickly wired them up to a switch and nothing, the positve touced barrel and sparks came off so i new it was live and i checked all the fuses, i then wired it upto the horn switch and tried but still nothing, I then thought it musnt be to do with the switch so i put the boss back on and wired it upto the steering wheel just leaving lots wire inside to make sure i cud turn the wheel,
after relpacing 2 bolts on the steering wheel smoke started fuming out of the boss! absolutely sh*tting my pants i tried to unbolt the wheel but its fiddly as is never mind in a stat of panic i managed to get the bottom plastic back off and just yanked the wires as i cud barely breathe at this point! burning my hand alot!!!!!!!!!!!1 still hurting now
the smoke cleared up and i removed all the sozzled wiring, thing is i know there was no bare connections i taped them all up what made them go up like that?
i wired loads of stuff up amps n subs, tv n dvd players, neons (other peoples cars) head units playstation 2 and i have never encountered this hence why i didnt take the battery connections off!
i need help i need to get a horn on my car and fast i dont care if its wired upto to a new switch near the light level i just need a horn"
