Smoked Horn Relay

[mills04av]

I was removing a police style horn from my av and accidentally reattatched the two horn ring wrong wires.

I put a 12v(+) to the horn by accident. And smoke came out.

I grounded the horn side of the wire and the horn works, I also tested all of the other functions on the steering wheel (vol, seek  . . .) and they work.

So the problem is in the steering wheel. Does anyone know how modular the wheel is, or am I going to have to replace the whole thing

By the way its a 04 av (not sure if that makes a diff.)

what is the eact problem?

The horn does not work.  When the horn on the steering wheel is pressed nothing sounds.  When you ground the wire that comes out of the steering wheel assembly it works.  The problem is in the switching unit that is part of the turn signal.

I got the replacement part today, but they said at chevy that the wheel has to come off to get this on ,which means that the airbag "spring or coil" needs to be removed and its going to take 3-4 hours.

Do you think this is a job ONLY for chevy??
I asked a local mech. that I know if he could do it and he said no problem.

NO...

I had mine off to add steering wheel radio controls... by using instructions from JP customs...

it was easy... just needed to borrow a steering wheel puller..

maybe check with AUTOWOODS our site sponsor who sells steering wheels as he gives instructions with each...
