Default Daytona SW install - horn connection?

My mechanic has the Raid Daytona SW installed, but is unclear on the wiring for the horn buttons. No instructions came with the wheel (just air bag connectors).

Can anyone explain how the horn should be wired up? Stab in the dark, but anyone actually have photos of their install or what to look for?

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Matt

Going from (lousy) memory here but IIRC you need to think of the horn as now being 2 buttons, one on each side of the wheel at the spokes. The orig wheel had effectively 1 button so when you look at it that way it becomes clear. There is a small black junction block in the new steering wheel hub, there are (I think) 4 wires coming from the buttons (2 from each), those will plug into the block. You will notice there are different sizes of terminals, match the lugs to the terminals and you're good to go.

Hope this helps. Yes, it was annoying there are no instructions but when you think about it it is pretty simple.

Edit: just found my pics of my Raid steering wheel install but unfortunately none show the junction block on the back, sorry.

Here is a close up photo of a wheel I just removed. Perhaps it will help.

Thanks for posting guys. Just to reconcile the text to the picture, are the 2 left wires and 2 right wires ALL plugged into the junction box? Just trying to visualize, as I don't have the wheel in front of me.

Best regards,

Matt

Yes. Those are the horn wires. Then, there are two wires from the junction box. One goes to the ground and the other to the wire loop. Hope this helps.
