Im in the last stages of rebuilding my car and realised the horn didnt work. I think I have worked out that it should ground through the steering column but when I check with a multimeter the steering column has no ground.

Does anyone know where the steering column grounds to so I can get all horny.

thanks in advance

The steering column bolts to the dash bar, which would give it a ground. There's no separate ground wire coming off the column because it's metal and bolts to the chassis.

Should also note if its S13 or S14, as they have different horn systems.
