Horn; Russ I had the same problem after taking the outer shaft off about ten times. I discovered the reason there was no ground was because the wire that attaches to the steering wheel copper ring, was in fact broken . I tired to re solder it but it broke again in a day, so I drilled a small hole were it attached to the copper ground on the wheel and it has worked fine ever since . There are only two grounds on the wheel and at the end of the shaft . If both are at ground it has to work. regards Ben Meisner [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
