I started with the front wheels straigt. I took off my Deluxe Steering Wheel and installed my Sport Wheel. I believe the adaptor hub is on correctly and the horn contact comes up through the center of its hole. Horn contact looked good and plastic insulator looked good. I attached the Sport Wheel, 6 screws, and the lower spoke is in the notch of the adaptor hub. I attached the center horn contact piece, three screws with the little tang on the back depressing the horn contact. I then pressed on the wheel center piece. Reattached the battery, pressed the center which does spring in word, no horn. Yes, the horn worked before I started! Yes, the battery is good. o No: What did I do wrong? Matt
Horn contact can be bad. Remove the cap and use your finger to press the contact to the base metal ring to activate the horn.
George, I put the Deluxe Steering wheel back on and the horn works. o No: Horn Contact and plastic housing look okay. I tried the sport wheel again and no horn. :rant: Matt
Having just removed most of these pieces on my Sport Wheel a few months back I learned two things. The steel ring on the back of the horn button (isolated with nylon buttons) can be sanded/cleaned with emory paper so that that contact point works substantially better if not perfect. Secondly, the little alluminum contact pin is easily installed wrong. In fact, it installs in a counterintuitive direction. And if you get it in backward - NO HORN. I think I learned that the mushroomed end installs downward against the spring - this makes installing the wheel all the more difficult as the spring forces the pin back out of the hole - sometimes with quite a force. I've never been inside a deluxe wheel so I don't know for sure if the parts are different although you don't use that sport wheel hub - right? I hope your problem is nothing more than this.
