Wheels with a center button style horn use a captive plunger. The spring pushes the "nail" or plunger up against a metal plate in the underside of the horn button. When the horn button is depressed the metal plate contacts the horn latch clips and provides a ground path through the column to activate the horn relay.
Yep, that is correct for the GT steering wheel.

No, it's definitely assembled correctly. That's not the issue.
the issue is the lack of continuity between the wheel and the spindle into which it is inserted.
using a meter, with one probe on the center nut, and the other on the part on which the button clasps, there should be continuity - there's not.
My best guess is the thin layer of grease I applied to the shaft - it may be insulating. Unless there's another thing preventing continuity that I missed during reassembly.

As a cludge repair I shoved a ball of aluminum foil in the space between the wheel and where the wheel nut sits.
It works...but I'm not happy about it.
I'm not wondering if I missed a part when I was assembling that would have done it on its own.
