    E39 3 spoke m wheel into e36

    I know it's been covered. But the threads are not straightforward and full of bs.

    I got an e39 3 spoke m wheel a while ago. It didnt come with a slip ring.
    I dont care about buttons working yet.
    I just want to make the horn work.
    Someone go through this slow for me. Lol
    What wires on the column.
    What plug or wires on the wheel.
    Nobody would recertify these machines after somebody screwed with them without any visibility into what they did.

    HONK! HONK! Clown car coming through!

    I went through the wire diagram. I found the ground and the slip switch at the column, and the horn works when I short the ground to the switch end.
    Looks like I need the proper slip ring to make work. The wheel has an obvious ground wire in purple in its loom. So it will be an easy hook up when I get a slip ring. Delete thread if you want mr. Mod. I dont know if any other e39 wheel has that info posted in it.
