Default Well, This is interesting.

My horn quit working. After some checking I realized my steering column is no longer grounded. If I run a jumper from the batt to the center opf the steering column it works.

The PO had tapped into the Horn ground to add an alarm. I took that out like 8 years ago. The T tap he put in there must have cut through it over time or I tugged on it hard enough that it broke where it was tapped into.

The horn was working, then it stopped working, and you find the ground wire was cut?
Who would do that to your car?
