I have a quick release steering wheel and the horn only works intermittently.

This gets a bit dicey at times, like last week when I was parked, and a soccer mom in an SUV started backing towards my car... The FD is so low and the SUVs are so high, she couldn't see my FD.

I tried to give a blast on the horn to get her to stop backing up and notice me, but the goddamned quick release wheel horn contacts didn't want to work at that moment.
I had to jump out of the FD and wave and yell and she stopped or she would have rode over the front of my car and destroyed it.

I want to take the horn wires at the steering column and bring them to a good momentary button on my center console. Anyone know which wires/ where they are/ ever done this before??

 

take the top plastic cover off from behind the steering wheel, can be tough but it just pulls off. You should see at the top a black sleeve which has 3 wires inside. A green with red stripe, a brown and a white.

the green with red stripe is the horn hot wire, atleast it is on my jdm car. Hook this up to the button +ve and hook an earth to the button -ve and bobs your uncle.

 

The connectors for the horn wiring are kind of in with the airbag stuff. Regardless, OG BBF is right, just touch that wire to ground and your horn beeps.

Thats PERFECT as my car is also a JDM car!!!

I was hoping to get the JDM wire color (as the USDMs have different colored wires from our cars) and this was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!!!!

 

Very welcome

 

Just finished doing this.
For anyone else who's reading it in future, it is NOT the green/red wire.

The horn wire is the WHITE WIRE bundled with the two other wires on top of the steering column.

Now to go fix a wire I didn't need to cut....
