Been there.... solved that...
The only thing you need to do is find a bad airbag unit >=2010 and take the 4 white parts and put them in your airbag... horn will work even better than in the original steering wheel

Yes it was a non FR steering wheel for an Fr steering wheel. Same year i believe with no multiplication controls
I thought it was going to be something like that. Do you know if those white parts can be brought by themselves? What are they called.
Thanks for you help

I investigated a lot at the time, I think that they cannot be bought sepparatly.
I didn't even found the name, i don't think it has a name at all....
So I got to an exploded airbag and removed it and put it in mine..
scrap yard.
those parts I believe were changed around 06/2010 (not sure)
Just out of curiosity which year is your car and the donator car?
Can you see the difference? in this two steering wheels?
the horn is activated when this is pressed against the steering wheel:

SO the plastic mounds on the steering wheel arent big enough to contact the metal tabs to start the horn. You think if i just stuck metal pieces on the tabs that would do it?
dont mess with the airbags putting metal where is not suppose to be... if one goes loose it will damage the wires and cause shorts, and other situations, etc...
I will do. Finding it hard to get my hands on a airbag thought. Will let you know once I've done.
let us know how it ends
