Well, ok....here goes,
I have a '61 Bug, 1600cc with a 12volt conversion. The steering wheel in the car has a brass ring molded into the hub. There are no holes for the contact pins, just the screw holes that retain the horn ring. Last week I pulled the wheel and double checked that I had all the correct plastic washers in place, all was good. I have power to the horn, so my issue must be with the wheel hub. There was no plastic piece on my wheel and the cancelling ring has no 'knubs' that would accept the plastic ring. I just can not figure out was is not making contact. It seems as though there is no interface between the steering wheel hub and the power wire to the horn. Is it possible to run a ground wire up the steering column ?? or.....
Official VW newbie appreciates, in advance, any help provided.
