has anyone else installed one of these? For some reason, I cannot get the horn to work and when I turn after signaling, I have to manually turn it off after making the turn, it doesn't click back after the turn is made. Any idea how to correct this?

Is it one with an airbag? Or without?

With air bag: when you took off your old wheel you let the clock spring go to far braking the connection for your horn

Without airbag: its an older style and you need a copper/ brass ring that goes behind the wheel that makes the horn work go to a junk yard and find an old toyota without airbags and dissasemble the wheel

And as far as signals... go get an alignment when its done your wheel should/may be off center but the specs correct....take off wheel and put it back on str8: or draw a line on the ground and make your wheel str8 against it and see if the wheel is off then correct it

Thanks Pipes. Yeah I think it needs an alignment. The wheel is straight as can be and off directly straight just a tiny bit either way, so I am sure the alignment will correct it. As for as it clicking back, there is a hub piece that has the wires for the original wheel (horn, cruise control, and air bag) that I removed, mainly because it will not fit between the GT4 wheel and the plastic piece that goes behind the wheel and covers up the steering column (I think that is what it is called). But my GT4 wheel did come with a copper ring behind the wheel and the other piece from my steering area is plastic. So I see what you are saying and I shall try that. It seems it does read it that way.

It is really a pain in the butt though having to switch the signal back after I make the turn. So you are saying the alignment should correct that as well?

Yeah I had that prob..... went to my job aligned it took the wheel oof and put it back

Excellent! I will try that, thanks. Hey, is it hard to do alignments? I haven't took that class yet, but in our engine overhaul class, we have lots of access to equipment. We basically have our own whole shop! I just don't know what an alignment entails.

If you can read a screen, and hold 2 wrenches at the same time, you can do an alignment. It's actually really easy. The hardest part for me is getting my car on the rack.

A screen? shoot, I dunno if we have that in our shop then. I guess I might have to take it in.

its pretty cheap anyway

there's also a backyard way to do alignments.. i call it the string method as it involves tying a string around the back wheel and stretch it horizontally across the front wheel. one person does the seeing, while the other does the adjustments. it's not the most accurate way for doing alignments but it works if the alignment is way off.

How do I get the GT4 steering wheel to shut the signal light off after I make a turn?" I hate doing it manually and my original GT hub piece that has the recoiling spring part but it doesn't fit with my GT4 steering wheel. Can I take this off of another car? But will the connection fit with my car? ARGH!!!! It is a pain in the arse having to switch the signal light off.


EDIT:


PROBLEM SOLVED WITH TURN SIGNALS!!


What is was, was that the hub plastic piece that sits behind the steering wheel needed to be aligned with the holes in the back of the steering wheel. Even when aligned, it doesn't appear that those inserts do in fact go in those holes, however once they were matched up, it switches off the turn signal after making the turn. Hopefully this helps anyone who has or will have a similar problem.
