Cruise control or horn ?

Today I removed my steering wheel in my 87 LX. Im swapping it out with a non cruise wheel.( I never use it and I don't like the wheel) Anyway what are the 3 small "pr0ngs" or tabs to the right of the column? Are these for the horn? Cruise or both? It has a small plug behind them with wires.

I thought so too. Will I have any problems using a non-cruise wheel? I kinda thought I would have to unplug some wires at least. But it dosnt seem to be the case...

I remove those Cruze wheels all the time they look like  in my opinion. The standard mustang wheel works perfectly >Have a great day guys

Horn should have a single wire that clips to the horn button that grounds to the steering wheel bolt... i wouldn't delet any wiring or connectors if that's what your asking.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Fun fact: if I press both the cruise on and off buttons at the same time, the horn honks.
