I assume there is supposed to be a ground wire in the steering wheel column and power for the horn. Mine does not have the ground wire. I suspect it was a hastily reassembled job. I have a temp solution but what is the way they used to be from the factory? How much disassembly and fishing do I have to do to get it in there? I have a Momo steering wheel, not stock.

The Momo wheel complicates things, early factory has a plunger that grounds the horn making a circuit, later version has a grounding ring that connects to the batwing with a small connector.
My first 914 had an aftermarket steering wheel the horn was activated by a button on the dash. Not my solution.
