no horn power at steering column

Any hints?

The horn itself has 12v and works when I manually hook it up.

When I check at the steering column, neither the brass pin or the other wire has 12v.

I tried searching, but does anyone know any common problem spots where the wire might be broken between the horn and the steering column?

Thanks

Thanks, but that link doesn't solve my problem.

My 4way blinker lights work. It's a switched ground system. I have power at the horn.

The circuit goes +12v at battery > hazard fuse > horn > steering column> when button pushed, ground

I have power at the horn, but no power at the spring loaded pin in the steering column (or the other side of the horn button, I'm not sure which way power is supposed to flow through that switch).

My broken connection must be between the horn and the steering column. The FSM labels this as a green-red stripe wire, but I haven't managed to trace it through the wire loom yet.
