That's a good question. A newb could get you on that one everytime.

Dang how does a newb check that? that's way too hard. I need pics and for someone to hold my hand because I can't download the FSM for free at www.foxed.ca or at teamfc3s.org

Oh yeah and as a newb I forgot to tell you i cut out random **** from my wiring harness and changed the steering wheel.

How will I ever fix it now?

find someone who does automotive electrical to rewire it. most people who replace the steering wheel with aftermarket wheels do not bother to hook up the simple horn contact.

The tiger is close too. That's a good answer to tell a newb.

I also forgot that the car has a quick release now too. And I recently put gas in the tank. Why won't my horn work? this is crazy.........

thanks a lot guys I fixed it. I forgot to put the steering wheel on. Silly me the horn buttons on the steering wheel and it wasn't on. brain fart.


Kill the newbs! At least the ones with ignorant questions.

I did have to fix my horn though today for state inspection. I don't have a CPU (Oh **** where is it?) so I had to wire up a relay and all that. It took I think two minutes. Actually I did it while laughing at this post. It's hard to do both at the same time. Don't worry my steering wheell is straight. Well as straight as a drift cars steering wheel gets. Slight tilt to the right but straight as an arrow. Alignment guys suck I miss working at a shop with a rack. It's so easy to do right I don't understand why these guys just don't use the thing that hold s the steering wheel straight when you set the toe. Dumb bastards!

You can't only have them redo something for free so many times before its not worth the time anymore.


Oh yeah how do you like my turn signal arm thing in the pic. It fell out the window drifting one time. What a piece of ****!
