    Hey guys....I'm using a bare stripped down Saturn View EPS column and can't wrap my head around how to do a br*** contact ring & brush pin setup so I can use the horn ****on on the aftermarket steering wheel. I could put a ****on on the dash or console but would prefer to use the steering wheel horn ****on. Has anyone done this?

    I'd guess they are like all modern steering setups where they use a ribbon connector (clockspring) for all wheel mounted functions. Pictures would help, but really, it's a matter of using that part and having a typical horn ****on, or replacing it with complete old style slip ring.
    Here's one example, ignore the brand.

    All it's got to do is have a relay trigger wire feed to the ****on. Pressing on the ****on grounds the circuit to the steering column/shaft, closing the relay. It will need to be insulated so expect some plastic or other non-conductive parts.
