I didn’t ground off anything but I did clean off the threads on the lower hub housing of a bit lubricant that I thought would help with the adjustment. Lub and a bit of rust I removed may have acted as an insulator, stopping the short needed to complete the circuit. So for the 4th time I removed the steering wheel and cleaned things up and reinstalled everything and the horn works perfectly! I torqued the wheel to 30’ lbs.
