My 1948 chev panel has a wire sticking out of the hole in the steering column but do not see it at the top where I put the steering wheel on. There is a spring but how do I get to the wire. Do I have to pull the whole column apart. Thanks 1948 panel van

at the top the wire connects to the mast bearing, you can't see it - when you press the horn button you're applying a ground to that wire to make the circuit, use an ohmmeter to check if the wire out the hole has good continuity to ground

Very simple to solder the wire to the copper collar. You don't need to dis-assemble the column, I used a thin re-bar wire to pull the wire up the column.
