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?
