WORKS BELL Hub and Spoon Steering Wheel Install
 
So I recently just got a new hub and quick release from WORKS Bell and I can not seem to get the horn button to work on my Spoon steering wheel. I've tried looking up multiple threads regarding the install on an AP1 and I am coming up empty. I noticed while I was looking around that some horn buttons have the two metal "prongs" on the back, and my steering wheel only has one. I really don't want to cut any wires to make ground connections from the quick release or hub, so anyone willing to chime in on this would be a great help!!!!

horn button itself has a metal ground that needs to touch the ground point on the hub itself.

You need the thin metal grounding ring that has a tab sticking out that sandwiches between the wheel and the hub. Works bell hubs usually include 1 or 2 of them.

You can see it in this pic:

some horns have 2 male grounding tabs, but for horns like the Spoon with only 1 male grounding tab, you need to use the grounding ring.

Should I use both rings? I only used one of the rings. Wasn't sure where the other one should go so I didn't use it.

1 ring is all you need

Thanks for the help. I will look into this and try to figure out where the grounding ring should be touching.

The brown ground wire from the OEM harness connects to the horn button connector that's sticking off the button kind of at an angle. Then you connect the ring to the other horn button connector (this should be the one more flat to the back of the button).

It couldn't be any easier. Sandwich the ring between the wheel and hub like i said.

there are 2 wires coming out of your WB Hub:

1. Power: Power wire goes to horn
2. Ground: Ground wire goes to grounding ring.

Thanks for all the help guys! I will give it a shot sometime this week and post an update.

It been a while but finally got the chance to finally work on it and unfortunately still not working. Tried your advice with one ring didn't work, and even tried both rings to make sure and still no luck. not sure if my horn button might not be working, or am I missing something?
