I had a shop replace my engine; They also pulled out the steering column & installed a rack & pinion setup for me. Unfortunatley they disconnected the wiring from the bottom of the steering column & cut a bunch of wires when they reinstalled the original column. I'm left with a horn that doesn't work and an installer that is over 1,500 miles away.

Can someone provide me with some closeups of a '56 steering column within the engine bay highlighting which wires are for the horn connection so I can try to reconnect wires so I can go beep-beep ? I think the wiring harness is original even though not every wire connects to something. I do not want to install an under-dash button & hot-wire it to the horn relay.

Guys;

The steering column is still the original; I'm sorry - but I'm a very visual creature. Can someone provide me with a picture showing the horn wire coming out of the steering column / steering box so I can find it on my car ?

Deeply appreciated because I already know the horn relay is wired incorrectly Connections are left horn (yellow w/green), right horn (yellow w/ green), and blue wire to column (not connected to anything); No power attachment. 

A horn connection should be really simple - power, horns, ground connection to steering.

brodie is correct ,   If they used a kit ,   as from Fat Man ,  you have a  u-joint and you will be unable to run the wire up the center of the shaft.   I had the same problem ....istalled a button under the dash .....think about it...how often go ypu use the horn.......Good  Luck...SamSmile

Just for fun, I'll take some pics of mine later tonight and post them so you can see what the "stock" wire looks like.
