Horn not working

[eyebuzz]

Hi All,

Took my steering wheel off to straighten it - really simple to do - then the horn didn't work. Aftermarket tilt column was installed by PO.

With the wheel OFF - In order to test it should the horn work by me pressing the small brass stud - number 2 in the photo below. Or is the ring I'm holding also required to touch to make the horn work - unfortunately neither situation works - but it will help me test the problem if it just the #2 stud I need to press.



It could not have been easier to get the wheel off and straighten it out - and I heard no springs pop or screws drop when it came off but no horn (I did reconnect the battery, the horn did work before). Thanks.
