atomic350z Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Thought I would just say to save people a lot of money, when changing your standard steering wheel or anything to do with steering column be very careful when moving, I changed my standard wheel for a tasty sabelt suede steering wheel and hkb boss but I managed to break what's known as the squib? Which has caused traction,abs and airbag lights to appear, this little item is £300 from Nissan and as far as I know you can only use a genuine Nissan part for this. So just a heads up be careful or get a professional. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny B Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 So what does this 'squib' look like? Where is it located? And how do you avoid breaking it? I've got an aftermarket boss and wheel to fit soon, so any hints and tips would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclip airbag and steering control connector. Undo the nut and remove wheel. Install new horn connector and resistor to connector. Install hub straight lining up plate behind into slot on hub. Screw down the nut. Install flat plate. Install wheel Connect horn to flat plate and wire from connector previously installed Push horn in place. Boom and you have a new aftermarket wheel installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
