Had one on my '69 Cadillac and it was already starting to fail in 1978. It was a bad idea with an even worse name, but interesting in a perverse way. I don't know why so many automakers have tried to move the horn from the center of the wheel; why fix what ain't broken? Kudos for restoring this oddity; I'm shocked that you were able to get fresh parts for it.
John Gibson I first encountered this type of wheel years ago on a Dodge Dart I had. The horn didn’t work on it and I assumed the horn button was in the usual place. To my surprise when I popped off what I thought was the horn button cover, there was no horn switch!
Thanks for demonstrating this have a challenger in the shop with mismatched everything, couldnt figure out how a horn switch would fit with this but it turns out its a “RIMBLOW” 😂
I can get behind the fact that it's a cool design, but being someone who has had to deal with one going bad before, I can easily say I really hate this design.

Very interesting video I never saw this type of horn if I did I can’t remember it. Thanks for explaining how it works

Glad this helped!
How do we wire the other type steering wheel wiring to this

This was dumb, should have shown the replacing of it.
Well, the title of the video is “How Does a Rim Blow Steering Wheel Work”. This wasn’t meant to be a “how to” video.
