Apologies in advance if this has been discussed before, the search function doesn't throw up anything specific.
Got hold of a nice A3 steering wheel to replace the slightly tired looking standard four-spoke unit currently in place. The problem lies with the connector for the horn.
The A2 loom has a clip and connect terminal, which is shown circled, along with it's location in the four-spoke wheel cradle. All very simple, one connector for the horn, one for the airbag.
The A3 wiring loom is slightly different: the pic I've also included here shows the A3 wheel cradle and this has three connecting points.
I'm not sure how to go forward with this. Do I need to modify the A2 clip to fit the A3 wheel connector, and which connector does it need to match with? ...and do the other two connectors then become redundant?
I'd really appreciate some advice on what should be quite a simple swap! It's had me scratching my head for a little while now.
TIA
