LONG STORY
After my airbags deployed I wanted a new steering wheel because it just wasn't cool to have a metal plate on my steering wheel so I did some research and called up Grant Steering products and they told me it was impossible to put one of their steering wheels on an airbag equipped vehicle. They told me they don't make adapters for it. I was like, no way, there has to be a way. So I called CarID and they told me that it was illegal and impossible so I was a little discouraged
but I went to O'Reilly's and bought an adapter for an old model car and then bought a steering wheel that fit that adapter. It was all trial and error for about 4 hours. I sat their for 30 minutes looking at the steering shaft, the adapter, the steering wheel, the old steering wheel and I figured wth and I gave up.

About an hour later at 9pm I couldn't think of anything else but to get that damn steering wheel on there so I took the wheel plate that came with the adapter and I put it over the steering shaft lining up with the little groove that my truck's steering shaft has on it. So far so good, then I put some random retarded looking plate that came with the adapter on it and tried to hook up the steering wheel but it just pretty much fell of the shaft so I took that stupid plate off and put the lock plate back on. Then I took the steering wheel boot or hub or whatever it's called and screwed it on with 3 screws that came with the adapter. It was looking good so I bolted it up with high hopes that I wouldn't have to rent another puller. So I screwed on the steering wheel and all was well! It looked great but there was one minor problem....no horn
and I have inspection due right now
which I was told they won't pass without a horn. So I drove it around for a little while with the steering wheel on there and it was awesome.

I then took it back off and looked at the horn wires and was like wtf is this junk?
There were two wires, one with a little end that looked like a trumpet tip or something and the other end was like a flat clip or something. The second wire I had had a circle on one end and a flat clip or something on the other. I fiddled around and noticed some little silver clip looking things on the horn button. I knew that in order for a horn to work, the little metal thing needs to be grounded so I started messing with the wires trying to see how it works and I got it! The wire that has the circle end hooks up to one of the silver clips and the circle part goes around where the steering wheel is screwed on. The other wire with the trumpet horn tip slides down into the spot where that metal piece thing stuck out for the original horn and then I folded it around a random lip in the plastic housing for the horn and fed it through some holes on the hub adapter and it made it to the steering wheel where it connected to the other silver clip thing. I pushed the horn and nothing happened but then I realized that the steering wheel wasn't grounded so I put it against the hub adapter and the horn worked!
Now everything is set up amazingly after Grant and CarID told me there was no way. I figured a steering wheel company would have their heads out of their asses but I guess not. So after trail and error over and over again I finally have it finalized and good to go.
I attached a picture of the final outcome. If you would like a detailed tutorial let me know and I'll hit you up.
I also removed the SIR ASM coil because it was no longer necessary.

^I gotta say that or else I'll get sued if someone gets there head knocked off by an airbag!
