Horn's done. Little f@$!%#er is LOUD when it goes off 3" from your ear.

I checked for voltage at the license plate light wires too and it's good to
go. Just need to locate screws for the deck lid.

Anybody got a good blowup of bay steering column electricals? I was going
to put the aftermarket horn button on the steering wheel but I can't figure
out how ground is supposed to get from the non-isolated part to the ring on
the isolated part. I figure someone had this thing off at some point
(considering how busted up it is they used a hammer to beat it off) and
left something out when they put it back together. I need to find a good
early bay steering wheel and whatever parts I need to fix that.
