Another Steering Wheel Install Help Thread

[AZbronco77]

Hi Guys,
I know this has been gone over a million times, but Im still a little confused (doesen't take much). I found the attached pdf in another thread which is useful. However, I still do not understand if i need the second wire attached. I have a grant adapter with a new toms steering wheel going on a '77 column. There are 2 spots to connect a wire on the wheel. Does the grounded black wire from the grant plug to the connecter on directly beneath the horn button. And if so, what is the other plug for and where does it connect to? Viperwolf, I saw you were able to answer lots of steering wheel questions, maybe you could chime in?

Thanks guys!

I have installed several aftermarket wheels, I don't find the second wire you are referring to. It is not shown in the pdf you have loaded. I have a horn button in my tool box that does have two spade connectors on the back, these are tied together to use one or two. I am somewhat confused as to the question. Where do these two wires to go to on the other end?

Those are my instructions ;D

gearida is right, there shouldn't be a second wire, all that black wire does is complete the circuit and provides a ground to fire the horn.

Correct. Earlier (pre-'73?) columns used 2 wires and the grant contact adapter is probably universal for both styles. The grant instructions should tell you where to attach the black wire for 1 wire columns.

Also don't use the grant pins on the back of the adapter. Instead pull your old cancelling cam off your old wheel and use it. Your signal switch arms will last longer that way.

Guys, thank you so much for your help once again. You guys always come through! Unfortunately, the steering wheel I'm replacing was not stock, had no horn and no turn signal canceling pins so that's why I'm a little confused on this install. The grant adapter 2nd wire must be an extra as you guys said. It always confuses me when there's extra pieces when I'm done putting stuff together. I think I've got the info I need to install now.
Thanks again!
