Thought I'd post this separate than at it is dealing with the steering wheel end of the horn assembly/electrics
(Saginaw PS)



Ok, blue wire comes up from the Horn relay, thru steering column tube, and ends with brass spring contact insulated and held in place by bracket.
Steering wheel center is a metal plate with splines that go over the steering post/rod.
2- #1541991 brass contact plate on bottom of steering wheel, (It has a rubber insulator which prevents it from grounding against the steering column post) it makes contact with the spring contact when steering wheel is installed. This plate has a wire that feeds up thu the steering wheel and goes into the
3- #1541949 Push button switch (this is two metal plates that contact each other when the horn button is pushed down and has a 3 spring assembly to keep it up and open until forced down. When forced down, the two plates make contact and that action is what "grounds" the horn wire from the relay.
4- grounding the wire works the relay and sends power to the horns making them "honk".
Question -
How is the steering post (not column) grounded? Or do I have this all wrong?
I can touch a wire from the blue horn relay wire to the column metal and get a "Honk"
But I can't do it by touching the steering post/rod that the steering wheel is splined into.
