Hey guys, I just picked up an 89 325iX... I'll introduce myself in another thread but for now I have an annoying issue I could use help on so I can get this thing inspected.
I removed the steering wheel (3 spoke sport) to get rid of the cruise control stalk and when I put the wheel back on, the horn stopped working. The slip ring/horns/buttons and all that work fine. I've isolated the issue to the wheel not being grounded - as in the rotating part of the steering column with the splines is not a ground - but the splined shaft is the only place (besides the slip ring) where the wheel contacts any other part of the car! I don't understand. Any advice?
