Guys put my hkb hub in my s13 today and its supposed to just plug into the horn button on my personal wheel and work but it didnt. Theres the little prong on the back but the hub is to short and doesnt reach it and I think thats what makes the connection. Any advice on how to fix this and also how the hell do I get my personal horn button in there without breaking it haha.

Thanks

Its not a wire. haha it needs like metal to metal contact I think I was reading. Ill let someone chime in whos done it before and knows exactly what to do. haha

IIRC there should be a metal ring that has to be in there.

Sorry to bump an old thread. On my S13 I am having the same issue, but my HKB hub is down as far as any adapter can go and I haven't looked yet, but the brass pin for the horn on the car side might not be contacting the metallic ring on the bottom of the hub. From what I have read, the lower left most pin is the horn. I know that the lower right one is not contacting the hub. I have read that that is a problem with the HKB's. I have a one wire horn Nardi wheel. The wheel that came out was a grant and used two wires to activate the horn. Can a one wire horn setup be made to work on an S13?
