Steering Wheel Horn Trouble Please Help
Hi everyone,
I have a 1987 Camaro and I recently bought a Grant GT Steering Wheel with the Hub kit for it. The problem starts with the horn set up cause since it is a wire which is completely different it constantly keeps the horn on and keeps going off when touches metal and won't work on the button does anyone know what I did wrong or what is wrong please help.
Cheers,

The Bumper Is More Effective Than A Horn
On the stock wheel the horn circuit is activated when the wire in the hub is grounded.
How many wires come out of the Grant wheel?
Using an ohmmeter, see if the horn button on the Grant wheel completes a path from one of those wires to ground or the wheel when the horn button is pressed.

Re: Steering Wheel Horn Trouble Please Help
This for the Grant Signature Series:
For one (1) wire horn systems--Attach the wire coming frm column or Grant hub to the center terminal on back of horn button.
For two (2) wire horns systems--The horn button must not be grounded and the modification shown below [pics on instruction sheet] must be done, then simply attach one wire lead to each terminal on back of horn button. Cut off external portion of wire spring. (This wire spring must not make contact with steering wheel). To do this, take horn button apart. Use the tabs on back side (3 places), push in and away until all three release, allowing horn button to separate. Then snip off external portion of spring (use wire cutters or cutting pliers). Put back together same as you took apart.
You may be able to find the above with pics on Grant's web site.
