Jaguar XJS Horns

I have a 1989 Jaguar xjs coupe. My Indicator switch stopped working. I replaced the Indicator switch with a new one bought from USA.
My problem is that after putting everything back together my Indicators are working fine but my Horns are not working. I took of the Steering Wheel again and was surprised to see that there is no wiring connecting the Horn Button to the Horn so how does the Horn work?
Any Ideas or suggestions how to get it working again as my M.O.T. has now ran out. :(

There is a brass rod and plastic support under the steering wheel soft front, the rod earths the supply from the horn relay to operate them. Try undoing the large adjuster nut behind the steering wheel and pulling and pushing a bit.

They can be a bit problematic if disturbed.

I removed the Steering Wheel with the brass rod. The problem is that nothing is connected to the brass rod. NO cable or any wiring visible.
