ABSTRACT:
An air bag module (18) mounted on a vehicle steering wheel (12) includes an electrically conductive base plate (30). An electrically conductive member (60) is fixed to the steering wheel (12). A resilient member (80) supports the module (18) on the steering wheel (12) for movement toward the electrically conductive member (60). Bolts (100, 120), which secure the resilient member (80) to the module (18), are engageable with the electrically conductive member (60) on the steering wheel (12) to complete an electric circuit to operate a vehicle horn (50).
