How to make the horn work:
Here is the most valuable piece of information that most people want to know… how to make the horn work when using the JDM non-SRS steering wheel from an EG.
1. Start off by getting a piece known as a shoe horn, PART #35259-SH3-A02, from any Honda dealer. It comes from the horn trigger of the 88-91 civics. It will look like this. PIC 11.
2. Some modification will need to be done to it in order for it to work properly. You will need to cut a tiny piece of the shoe horn in order for it to install correctly. The Red shapes in the pic are the things that will need to be cut. PIC 11.
3. Installation of the Shoe horn: Once you have gotten the modifications done to the shoe horn, proceed by unscrewing the combination switch lever which is held on by 3 screws behind the white plastic in the middle. You can see 1 of the screws here. PIC 12. Remove it carefully from the steering column.
4. Now, look on the bottom of the combination switch lever on the side with where you turn on the headlights. To connect the shoe horn, simply place the female spade connecter into the male spade connecter on the bottom side of the combination switch lever. Here is a pic from the bottom of the combination switch lever. PIC 13. Once that is secure, go back to the front and screw in the tiny screw that I said you needed too (it is silver on mine). PIC 12.
5. Wiring the horn. Now that the shoe horn is in place, you will need to wire it properly. Look behind the combination switch lever, (headlight lever side) and look and the wire connection area. Get about 2-3 feet of the 14-16 gauge wire for this. You will need to place one end of the wire where I have placed my hand holding it at in this pic. PIC 14.
6. The other end of the wire, will go where you previously separated the SRS wire harness from the underside of the steering column. I don’t know how to describe where to put it correctly, so I will just show you a pic of where to place it. PIC 15. Sitting from the driver seat, it should be on the left side of the connection.
7. That’s it for the wiring. Now place the combination switch lever back on the steering column, and put the 3 screws back in so that it looks like PIC 12 again.
Unless You were gonna use a different method...in that case fill me in. I haven't purchased the shoehorn piece from Honda yet.
