Default horn problems

I had a stock steering wheel, and i changed it to a MOMO steering wheel and now the horn doesn't work, where it worked previously. Idk whats wrong with it. Fuses are good, relay is good. Any ideas?

There should be a little ground wire that attatches to the button of the momo horn, and then to the other end of the horn adapter. It should be touching like a brass/coppery looking piece of metal.


I think.

Supply the wire going to the horn button a known good ground with the key on. If the horn actuates then you have a control side issue.

I don't use my horn in the 944, unless I'm trying to be funny....because that's all it's really good for.

Yeah the key is on, but why would it work 5 minutes before i put the momo on, and then not work after its on?
