Re: Wire on steering box

[Warp <WarpOMatic@domain.elided>]

     When my horn stopped working on my GTV6 I scratched 
my head for a long time until somone pointed out a broken 
ground wire going to the sterring box. I suppose it's less 
likely to develop a bad connection due to corrosion if
attached there?
