Electrical Problem In Steering Column

[simonyoungr33]

HI GUYS

i had the common problem where the horn would go off around corners so instead of pulling the fuse i cut the wires BAD IDEA i fixed the problem the other week but horn didn't work after i hooked it back up. I then saw the Relay was melted (oops) so i replaced the relay but before i check to see if the horn would work by hooking up to 12V source which it did. i then tested the horn button to see if it was earthing out which it was then i retest the relay by earthing it out and the horn went off. Soo heres the question>>>

What is Between the horn button and the relay.... Brushes of some sort?? everything earths out properly but the msg isn't getting from the steering wheel to the relay

Help! really don't want a defect
