[W126 Coupe] Dead horn(s)

[Matt Petersen]

Thanks Dan.
 
On the back side of the steering wheel I can see the two rings, I couldn't
see on the steering column side where these get picked up.
 
I replaced my cruise stalk about a year ago with no issues so I have had the
wheel off in the past without problems. 
 
Given that I changed the Indicator/wiper stalk I wonder if the wiring for
the horn goes through this?
 
Matt.

About a week ago I replaced my indicator stalk and today went to toot my
horn and neither work.

The steering wheel has TWO slip rings in series with the hot side of the
horn circuit (fused +12 VDC from Fuse #7 in the fuse box). The horn switch
must bridge both, so you are looking for TWO connections coming out. One
side is insulated Black/Violet and uses connector X63. The other is not
labeled in the shop manual, but MBZ habit would have it be the same color.

There must be a misprint in the manual, because later in the same section
connector X63 is described as a "serial data feed" for the CIS-E/EZL
(ignition module).
