Steering Wheel Help!!

WiseGuyLX · 04-03-2008, 09:16 PM

Hey guys. I swapped the Si steering wheel to the LX and it came out fine until I have to plug the batteries back in. But when the negative hits the metal, the horn goes off. I tried to adjust the air bag piece of the steering wheel and torx it differently but I can't seem to stop the horn from going off. What am I doing wrong? Can someone please help me? Thank you!

Ok I got it. Apparantly the metal back was touching the metal strip and all I had to do was push it back so they wont touch. Oh well...I got impatient. Thanks anyways!

nice upgrade. how much did you got the steering wheel?

WiseGuyLX · 04-03-2008, 09:43 PM

$71 on ebay. It looks pretty good but you can tell it's an 06 though...and I have a brand new 08. I'm gonna head to autozone pick up mothers back to black, meguiars leather protector and scratchX cuz I scratched the steering wheel trim panel

. I recommend all LX/EX owners (especially sedans) to do this

you still need the lugs?

WiseGuyLX · 04-04-2008, 03:39 AM

haha dang..no I don't actually. I got a set tonight and this time I tried them out and they worked for real. They look so much better than LX lug nuts. But thanks anyways!

check hondapartsdeal.com or other dealers online and they should have it

#4. Steering Wheel (SRS) on the Chassis section of the 2008 Si

This one has it for around 200 just for the grip (which is all you need really)

But I suggest going on ebay or in the parting out section of this site to find someone that's selling their steering wheel. It should be no more than 100 (unless someone really REALLY wants them). Good Luck!

WiseGuyLX · 04-04-2008, 03:36 PM

Yup Yup. I'm probably gonna take some pics later today and I'll post them up tonight. It looks hella sweet!
