Horn works now, but sparks fly when the wheel makes contact... willy nilly

I need some help, I got my horn working yesterday by sanding the steering wheel contact and the little brass wheel. I tightened the steering wheel down more since I don't believe it was making good contact, but now a see little 1" sparks when the horn is depressed. They happen at the point of contact.

When I tested the little brass wheel against the colmun shaft it did the same thing. Any ideas? Would dielectric grease help??

I want to be able to finally use my big manly horn! troll
