No horn. So today I installed the new horn contact switch and no horn. I pulled the steering wheel, verified I had continuity with the contact ring and #25 wire at the horn, shows good. Next I pulled the white plastic bearing holder and I'm glad I did as the bearing was full of sandblasting sand and crunchy, flushed/cleaned and re greased the bearing and cleaned the contact ring and connection, re assembled. Then I figured out the horn is getting it's ground connection through the steering shaft, checked and no continuity from the steering shaft to ground. Determined that the rag joint connection was preventing ground so I pulled one of the rag joint bolts and the pinch bolt on the box side, cleaned them and added a ground strap between the two for a solid ground, horn fixed.
