Horn wire Steering Column Disassembly

[profcucchi]

Hey guys,

I messed up!

I took off the steering wheel and column shell.

I thought the horn was a clip attached to the column somewhere. Upon pulling the wire, I realized it's attached to a flat ring that's part of the column.

I have a 24mm socket to remove the nut, and can probably get the ring off with a good struggle.

My question is: can I just solder the wire back onto the ring I pulled it from?

Thanks.

I don't know if you can get in there without melting something. There is an EPOXY that is a conductor and tough as all heck. My Standaard Poodle, BARNEY war bored while I was in LOWES and chewed the defrost tab off the rear defogger on my JEEP hard top. I glued it back on and it's been fine for 2 years. Google frost fighter. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice.

I feel like such a tool...
