My horn was quieter than the horn on my Lancer.

Replaced it with a Wolo Bad Boy 😊

You're not alone

Of course it is my own fault, because the buttons come as one part with the wires installed and I just had to replace them with the old ones since I was stupid enough to squeeze my new wires with the screw, as I wrote yesterday.

Maybe that information helps the on or other guy if replacing the cruise control buttons. They actually come with the wiring connected to the buttons, but I am sure many people will leave the old wiring in the steering wheel and just replace the buttons to avoid having to deal with the airbag connection and uninstalling the steering wheel which can be a pain if you do not have a pulling tool for it.

I am happy with my truck again.

I know this is a 5 year old post, but I'm glad it is still up. I had the same problem with the same resolution-plugged in wrong on the on/off switch.
