Horn not working... red bits inside the wheel are good?! What else? (Picture) 850 1994

I discovered that the horn was non-functional on the trip home with my new 850.

Some quick research revealed that the problem is usually the isolator bushings on the contacts inside the steering wheel.

I took the usual precautions and removed the airbag unit and accessed the horn contacts.


Both sides look as pictured. Nothing wrong at all.

Aside from the fuse (shared with wipers and working fine), any thoughts on where to check next?
