Question Steering Wheel Help (Horn)

When I first got my truck, the first thing I did was replace the old nasty steering wheel with a Grant. Well, it wasn't me, it was my husband and his friend. His friend had the tools and they got all gung ho and replaced the steering wheel while I was in the house. All was fine until the center cap popped off at 3 AM in the morning causing the wire to connect and the horn went off insistently. So my husband went out and wrapped the wire with tape to shut it up (hey, it was 3 AM in the morning...I wasn't moving )

Well a year later, I need my horn. People are being really stupid and I'm tired of using hand gestures to get my point across.

I downloaded the installation instructions from Grants website but it's not helping me any. I have one wire that comes out of the column and one connector on a retainer type piece....looks like a donut with three holes that loosely mount over the screws in the steering wheel. The top of this piece is a tan, with the back being metal. The connector for the wire is on the top. There are no connectors on the horn button. The spring is very touchy and comes off if the horn button is removed.

If I connect the wire to the connector, I get a clicking sound when I make contact from the back of the retainer to the steering wheel.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get my horn back?

This is what my steering wheel looks like:
