[QUOTE="gagvanman, post: 390210, member: 17411"] I have to say I am confused that anyone would say that the steering column would be live. Even with only 12v this is going to cause some suprises, and some blown fuses. The live should go direct to one side of the horn and the other side of the horn is fed up through the center of the steering column to the button on the steering wheel where it is earthed when the horn button is pressed this completes the circuit. I think the confusuion comes from the fact that the steering column is isolated from earth normally and a special contact within the column connects it to the body. In my case a washer welded to the outside of the column. [/QUOTE]
