hello little miss sunshine  :<P   99.9% positive your problem is not in the
horn pad on the steering wheel.   its probably a bad ground on the brown wire
that runs down your steering column.   put the vw emblem back into your
steering wheel (thats not how you pull the pad anyway)  and pull off the lower
steering column cover (2 small screws at top of the cover) and check brown wire as
it runs down the column for frays...
