Hello everyone,

so I bought a JCW steering wheel off eBay and when I received it, I realized that part of the grey/red wire was burnt off. Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase the individual wire or do I have to replace the whole wiring harness for it.

 

honestly, cut the wire and use a butt splice to join them again. i cannot imagine being able to purchase the wire alone. nor would it be necessary. the butt splice would be MORE than enough to resolve it.

 

I agree with MarcoPolo - just repair it.

Here's some pics and info that may help ...
This pc shows R&R and correct(?) routing of the wire -

I'm thinking it's the horn wire, see these 2:

and
S87*1B (S87*2B is the horn's ground)

I wonder how it got burnt in the first place? Is there a way to see if the wheel even works before you start installing it?

 

@MarcoPolo @FlyByMike thanks guys for your help! I went ahead and did the butt splice and installed today! @Mini_Vinnie I was honestly wondering the same, but I installed today and everything worked perfectly, so I'm happy!

 

Whew

 

Hey bro, whats was your older steering wheel, i want do the same with my car but my is the One model, and the steering wheel only have the horn... So im wondering if the commands will or not work, and if the airbag will connect with that steering wheel. if you could also say if it was hard or easy to do that i would appreciate.


Thx!!

 

I had the normal steering wheel, but mine does have the control on the sides as can be seen in the picture. I am guessing that adding the JCW is totally doable, but you might have to code both the paddles and the other buttons.
