A structure for connecting wires in a steering wheel. The steering wheel is mounted on a steering shaft to steer an automobile. The steering wheel includes a frame coupled to the steering shaft. The frame is manipulated to steer the automobile. An electric device is arranged in the steering wheel. A connector provides the electric device with electric power. The connector is manually inserted in the steering wheel during assembly. A mount holds the connector. A hole extends through the shaft frame near the mount. A guide is provided for guiding the connector toward the mount when inserting the connector through the hole. The guide is located between the shaft frame and the main frame. This results in more efficient assembly while limiting the number of parts.
