I swapped the steering wheel recently to m-tech 2, and the horn become a bit weird, it does not work when I turn to certain degree, which is annoying and quite dangerous I think. How do I fix that? The other part is turn signal arm. It comes back after left turn, but does not after right, but I'm not sure is this happened after steering swap, as I have other car and driving e30 rarely now. Is it difficult to change the arm? Can that be because of the steering wheel? Thanks

Indicator stalk is held on by two screws, easily seen after the steering wheel and lower column shroud is removed. The wires connect to the car at a plug and socket clipped, in a stack of three, to the steering column about half way down. You'll have to remove the under dash panel to access this.
The horn and indicator fault both suggest that the steering wheel isn't on the shaft as far as it should be for some reason.
