Help with new steering wheel horn kit..
I just purchased a new steering wheel, which came with a horn button and wiring. I currently have the stock column horn button (2008 Precedent) with the black sleeve that covers the horn wiring. Is it as simple as disconnecting the two wires on the old button, and putting them on the new button? Also, how much slack should there be on the wires to compensate for turning the wheel? Pictures are welcome.:thumbup:

Hi
I would also like to know how hard it is to switch out a steering wheel and are the after market wheels are as good as the one's that Club Car sells? Thanks Alan |

If your original horn was run through your voltage reducer it should be plug and play(remove wires and and replace on new button), also the steering wheels I use the horn is separate from the turning mech so no slack should be required for this.

Honestly, I would recommend you leave the button where it is on the column.
On a car, there is a contact ring that the power transfers through instead of the wires. This is to keep the wires from chafing or breaking and causing a short. Golf carts don't have this feature. -Scott H. |

The stereo system is the only thing currently on the reducer. I was thinking that the new button would simply complete the circuit when pressed like the old one did? What should I do if anything?

After it's off and you have all the right parts to put the new one on, it's just a matter of making sure the new steering wheel is straight before tightening everything up. As far as the aftermarket wheel's safty concerns, they are built to a much higher standard than the Golf Cart steering wheels because they are made to conform to the Automotive Safty Standards. Because vehicles go much faster and weigh a whole lot more than golf carts do, the companies have to design the parts to be safe for major high speed accidents. Hope this answers your question, -Scott H. |

Its an 08 and although it didn't go quietly, I was able to pop the steering wheel off with a plastic mallet. The wheel is already installed without the use of the new button just to just to make sure everything fit, which it did. I may just leave it that way, but it sure looks cleaner without it.
