SRS-Horn?
whats up people..
i have a question regarding SRS...
During the summer i had to replace my cable reel on my steering column.
(A picture of a cable reel = http://www.s2000.org/mods/hub/image10.jpg).
Now when i replaced it(the cable reel was in mint condition.. no tares it was taken off my buddies car), i connected my cruise control back up connected my horn, and connected the airbag.. everything worked fine.. i then reset the SRS using these steps (http://www.knology.net/~jediklc/srsreset.htm).
Since then everything ahs been workign fine. All of a sudden my srs light turned on.. my horn stopped working.. then as the light remains on, the horn now works on random sometimes.. So im not sure if this would be due to a connection issue in regards to the new cable reel.. Or maybe this could be another factor.. Does anyone know of a way of testing the SRS system to find the cause.. OR does anyone know of a solution to this problem..
I do appreciate any feedback..
Thank you

ive already reset the module.. 95 honda civic
light comes back on
i believe its the cable reel, does anyone know if their is a necessary procedure when installing it? i know you take the steering wheel off, connect the cable reel.. put the indicators back, then the reel then steering wheel.. and then make necessary connections..
Does anyone know when replacing the steering wheel, if any other pieces goes with it.. like a spindal or some type of mechanism?
Thanks

i belive the clock spring is attached to the cable reel. When i read the instruction manual of a honda, it says i have to make an alignment so that the yellow gear tooth is in between the mark.. thats all that was stated regarding any spooling... is their something prior that i have to do?? & do you think the cable reel is damaged already ?..
Thanks
Thanks

It first says to do this by rotating the cable reel clockwise until it stops. Then rotate it counterclockwise (approximately two turns) until:
- The yellow gear tooth lines up with the mark on the cover
- The arrow on the cable reel label points straight up.
I have done that and still nothing.. But what i find weird is that when the steering wheel was installed, when turning to the left i was only limited to a certain amount of turns before it was unable to turn anymore because the wheel was fully turned. But if i turned right, i could keep turning the wheel all the way to the right and even though the wheel is fully turned to the right i was still able to turn it, but the cable reel would be squeaking.
I have tested the horn with two wires to ensure that it still works, i also tested the ground on the actual steering wheel itself and that shows connectivity...
I have checked fuses, none are blown...
the only thing i can think of is the cable reel would be the issue.. BEFORE i took the wheel off and disconnected the cable reel, the horn would work when i turned the wheel half way to the right, only in that position...
anyone have any ideas??.. any information would be greatly appreciated..

i know what your going through man trust me, i went to a junk yard and found one
BUT
this is important.. WHatever state you take it out of the car, KEEP IT IN THAT STATE do NOT turn it .. i got a tie strap, and ran it through the reel to keep it in the same as if it was in the car
its a tedious task, because you will find the piece you are looking for and some a-hole already destroyed it prior to taking out the cruise control or whatever...
happy searching man, i hope what i said can be of sum usefull information

who told you that?? whoever did mis-informed you... i went to honda personally, the one located in sauga off of erin mills, right next to the cop station.. and they said something like $700 !!!!!!!!!!!! if u search my name or thread u can find a thread i created its called ... Cable Reel - 95 civic
that has the exact price for it.... all you need is a clock spring...
honestly man you gotta just yellow page all the junkyards in your area or if ur willing to drive, in the GTA.. there is one i cant remember the name.. its MASSIVE.. i think its near medowvale or somewhere around there.. cars all over the place... but dont go with too much hype the first time.. took me 3-4 tries before i found one.. and i paid $20 for it.. i went to the junk yard right off of central parkway and mavis in sauga, there is a timmies there.. all the "dude bros" chill there. But its called cooksville auto recycling ...
hope this helps
