What about the horn button. Mine is loose and dosent sit in the steering wheel hole.

[yellows2k]

Does the horn work with real nardi's? Or do u have to do some guru ninja stuff with the connections to get it to work.
I remember my first car had a saas wheel and the horn worked fine, the nardi I have now don't beep beep
