I have managed to reconnect most of the electrial on my 1928 Dictator, but the horn is a mystery to me. I have it working off a switch under the dash board, but would like to hook it up to the button on the steering wheel. The wire going up the steering column to the button needs to be replaced. Not sure if this button creates the ground,or is the hot line that provides the current. Has anyone rewired the horn button inside the steering column. My steering wheel has 6 screws on the backside, underside, but a little apprehensive to enter it not knowing what I will get into. Any first hand from experience advice would be appreciated. Seems like an easy fix, but not for someone like me who is brave, but dangerous. Ha! Thanks for reading . . . .

If you can access the wire in the steering column from both ends, you can attach the new wire to the old wire (solder and heat shrink is the skinniest way to do this) and use the old wire to pull the new wire through the holes and channels.
Don't just pull the old wire out.
If you have already pulled the old wire out, maybe you can fish a fine, thin, solid wire through the column and use that to pull the new horn wire through.RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.
