I ran into an interesting problem on Saturday. I installed the steering
wheel and horn button and the horn would not work. I had tested the
connection between the button push and the wire from the wheel spacer and it
was fine. I had not tested the ground between the steering column and the
car. When I put a Ohm meter between the column and the car I got just the
faintest of readings. Not enough to give the horn a ground though. Same
reading between the cinch bolt on the column and the car.
I rebuilt the column, new bush at top and bottom, painted the outer tube,
and painted the center rod itself. I guess I did too good of a job. For all
practical purposes, I've isolated the column from the car. Now I have to
figure out how to get enough contact back so the horn will work.
