Steering column not grounded?

[airspeed]

I have been chasing a "horn not working" problem for a while. My first problem was a bad ignition switch, no voltage to the horn relay, fixed that. I have continuity with the relay ground wire all the way up the column to the slip ring. When you push on the horn button there is no ground? I can use test leads and go from the slip ring to any other piece of metal on the car and the horn will honk. All the rotating mass inside the column is isolated? You would think that all that steel running in metal bearings would have some grounding continuity. :dunno:

Try searching mate.
