Just a suggestion: Before going through the hassle of removing the steering wheel for voltage at the two strip contacts behind the steering wheel, I might suggest checking for voltage first at the combo switch. If no voltage there then there is really no reason to pull the steering wheel.
Would have saved a bit of work in your situation. You wouldn't have know about the loose contact strip, but that is probably a rarity..... Nice job!

awesome... one of my factory horns seems to not work.. it has to be in the wiring since I swapped in some S-Class horns and one was still not working
Also, the header reads, "Mercedes Injection Pump o ring" |
