Alright boys, just fitted my m tech 2 steering wheel :D feels soo much better than the nasty 4 spoke effort!

This could prove to be a silly question,but im no good with electrics, basic or otherwise :mad: anyway... ive got the brown wire sorted, but ive got a black one, i presume this is the horn? :? but there seems to be nowhere to wire it to?

If anyone could let me know (be it pics or text) id be very grateful.

both wires are for the horn. Where you connected the brown there should also be a connector for the black. iirc one of the wires has to be pushed into a recess?

right... ive got the brown connected to the wheel, and to the centre pullout section.

ive also got one end of the black wire connected to the centre pullout section, but the other end there is a small black casing covering the metal connector.

I also see a small hole in the wheel, the same shape as the casing.. however the hole seems smaller than the casing? :mad: :x

Still after a bit of info folks :(

Ive got the brown wire connected up, and one side of the black wire connected to the centre section, but im puzzled when it comes to the other end of this wire?

I presume it as to be earthed somewhere? will try and get pics up tonight... :cry:
