Hey guys!

I currently drive a '95 Civic Si Coupe, and apparently my Horn isn't working.

What's the best way to get it workin' again? Any suggestions / tips / appreciated.

Tired of not being able to honk at the idiots on the road or the prrrdy girls that pass by -

A sincere thank you in advance.

well you can replace your horn, or you can test out if your horn is actually getting power... the horn is located on the passenger side near the front bumper...

Is your airbag light on?

do u have cruise control, and if so does it work?

when was the last time you F*cked around with your steering wheel?

imported_InfamousCivic

Okay, from being tested, the Horn itself is working, jus' the wiring is off. And if I want to repair it, that would mean I would have to take apart my actual steering - if I'm not mistaken, which I'm worried about because it has an AIR BAG in it, and I don't want that to go off.

No :
The Airbag light is not on. And Cruise Control doesn't work either, any ideas?

Hmm - I guess the question is, how do I fix both?

imported_JLM SIR

Have the same problem a month ago. You're gonna have to bring it to mechanic or honda specialist, have to replaced the inside part of your steering wheel that connects with your horn n cruise control...part cost about $125-130...and you're good to go!
Good luck man!

imported_InfamousCivic

I assume there is no way, I can manually fix this myself?

imported_JLM SIR

If you can manage to take it out yourself, go for it but you still need that part from Honda.

imported_InfamousCivic

Would you happen to know which part that would be?

PS> Thanks for your feedback

imported_JDMman

if the part is inside the steering wheel.... why not just buy a new steering wheel???...if you can find one i mean

imported_JLM SIR

There's nothing wrong with the steering wheel itself, the problem is inside of it. Forgot what's called but I'll get back to you, lemme call my mechanic and ask him...Sorry dude...I'll post it ASAP bro!

imported_InfamousCivic

You've been great so far, thanks so much

imported_JDMman

lol... i understand that you are saying that the steering wheel is fine... and that its just something INSIDE the steering wheel... but what im trying to say... is .... wouldn't it be better on your wallet to find a used steering wheel with the part INSIDE working fine for like 80 bucks if that... instead of paying around 130 bucks for the part and then install costs.

The part you're looking for is the spindle.... it allows the connection of the horn/cruise/air bag from the steering wheel to the rest of the car without any tangling of wires while you turn. Should be relatively inexpensive if you can pick one up used.

Looks like a black plastic hub with a ribbon wire on it.... It's not "inside" the steering wheel but rather bolts underneath it.

imported_JLM SIR

It's called "clock spring" just passing the info!

imported_InfamousCivic

@JDMman : I understand your point, but that also leaves the chance of it not working, when they claim it is working, or the chances of me finding one, which can be a hassle. If the Mechanic's and/or Specialist charge too much that isn't worth the cost, I'll definitely go your route.

@majikstic : Do you know any DIY for this installation, because the last thing I want to do is ignite the AirBag.

@JLM SIR : So this Steering Clockspring would fix my Cruise Control and Horn?

PS> I couldn't possibly thank you enough. Truly grateful, thanks pal.

All the information you require to remove the steering wheel is in the Haynes manual (worth the $20 at crappy tire).... Their procedure also covers what precautions to take with the airbag. Once you read it you'll realize that it's quite simple.

@ Majikstic : Would you happen to know how to do everything without deploying the AirBag, or would it in this case, this book help once again?

I would told "It's really not that hard to replace and the airbag won't deploy IF you remove the negative battery cable and install the protector (red jumper adapter) on the air bag when you unplug it..."


@ JLM SIR : The actual term is, "Cable Reel". That's what some dude told me.

imported_majikstic

yep... it's all covered in the manual.... everything from disconnecting the negative terminal to the red jumper connector

imported_InfamousCivic

Excellent, I appreciate all your help! Looks like, this week, when I get a chance, I'll go at it. Thanks again! - I'll try to keep you guys posted Couldn't thank ya'll enough.
