Default Help with horn reconnection

Hi!
I replaced my original steering wheel with an Autodromo and reconnected the wire as it was and it doesn’t work. I feel like I have to run a second wire between the steering wheel and ??? to ensure grounding because because there's an aluminum spacer between the steering wheel and the hub. What would you recommend?

the horn grounds through the steering shaft, that aluminum spacer is conductive and is grounded,, see that lug sticking out of it ? that is a ground lug you connect a wire to and the other side to the ground lug on your horn.

if you take the white wire off where it is connected to and touch it to that lug on the aluminum spacer the horn should sound, if it doesnt you either dont have ground or power from your horn circuit.

Ok thanks! Do you know why there’s 2 lugs on the horn button?

yes, i thought i explained that ..

one lug is the power from the horns ,, the other is the path to ground that you connect to the sleeve.
