I tried to be Mr. DIY and swap the new steering wheel I got in myself. Went to connect the battery back up and the horn is staying on.

i'm thinking I may have overtightened the airbag mounting tray that I swapped over from the original wheel?

Anything else I could've done wrong to force it on all the time?

 

sounds like its grounded out

 

Talk to me like i'm stupid and I don't understand electricity... (because i'm stupid and I don't understand electricity).




What connection would be the issue? The wire with the black lead on it isn't firmly connecting?

 

Krazy is correct, redo your work making sure wires are well connected and not pinched.

 

Figured it out. I had over tightened the 3 bolts holding in the frame contacts the metal on metal to complete the circuit and sound the horn. By loosening the 3 bolts up it raised the airbag out 2mm or so from the frame of the wheel so there was more throw in the "push" to activate the horn.

Thanks for your help gents.

 

Nice you got it fixed will put that info in my limited memory banks lol.
