[Mgs] 67 BGT steering wheel play

Wed Aug 29 16:55:32 MDT 2012

Errr, the ground is supposed to be on the other side of the horns, not 
in the column.  IOW,  current flows from ground, through the horns, 
through the switch on the steering column and to the battery.   Note:  I 
don't want to hear any arguments about which direction current flows!
