Simple, Quick and Easy How to Replace the Steering Wheel Chevy or GMC Truck

What happens here

After reinstalling the steering wheel and reconnecting the battery, test the horn. If it doesn't work, begin troubleshooting. The presenter first checks the horn relay in the under-hood fuse box by listening for an audible click when the horn button is pressed. The relay is clicking, indicating it's functioning. Next, locate the horn itself. The presenter identifies two horns located in the front bumper area, one of which has its wiring disconnected. Reconnect the disconnected wiring to the horn. This is often an intentional disconnection by previous owners to silence a backup beeper or alarm. After reconnecting, test the horn again.

Goal: Restore the horn's functionality.
