New Steering wheel & new horn installation help needed

[Kremer5]

HI all,

I got a new steering wheel to swap out the old grant wheel on my 74 with hazard switch on the column. it has only one copper post.

It never came with a horn when i bought it, and the wiring under the hood has been taped together with electrical tape which I've peeled back. The horn relay has three wires coming out of it:

• blue with yellow leader - goes back into cab
• Yellow with green leader - goes back into cab
• yellow - connect to battery at starter solendoid

I was expecting one of the wires to have a plug on the end of it that goes into the horn. Any advice?

Blue/yellow goes to column wiring connector, yellow/green plugs into horn, yellow goes to starter solenoid.

Thanks mark,

Why is the yellow/green routed back into the cab in this bronco?

I see the same color wire going to the fuse box. I've added a link to the picture of what I see heading into the cab. Both Blue/yellow and yellow/green wires are in the bunch.

Bump to top.... anyone have advice?

It goes into the cab because the horn is over on the driver's side even though the relay is on the passenger side.
Once it goes in one side, it should go back out the other and over to the front core support brace.
Single wire to the horn, and the horn grounds through it's base bolted to the body.

Thanks, Donk.
Horn installs, and beeps. Im glad it was an easy fix.
Ordering more parts now from Wild Horses to finish the steering wheel install.

Glad to hear it (pun kind of intended)!%)
Both the horn, and your order!

Appreciated very much.

Hi Donk

Another easy one for ya. When putting my steering wheel with adaptor on, the horn post makes contact with the adaptor causing it to honk. I’m following your video (which is great by the way)

What am I doing wrong to cause the horn to not function correctly?

 

[Kremer5]

Turns out I didn't get the memo that you don't need to order a turn signal cancel cam with the Wild Horses steering wheels. That was causing it to ground out the horn.

Can anyone tell me what nut threads onto the shaft to hold the steering wheel on?

 

[DirtDonk]

Haha, oops! A good ending then, other than having the extra parts.
Are you close enough to join us for our April "Bronco Roundup" by any chance? Could bring the extra bit back for a refund then without having to hassle with shipping it back.
Would be fun too!

Extra part is in the mail back to you. Where is the roundup?

If you're even remotely in the area, it'd be great to stop on by if you can.
If you're not, might be a good excuse for a family vacation or road trip!;D
