The forked piece has 2 tabs that points towards to the light switch assy.It has a spring behind it and slips on the square end of the horn rod and held on by a small horseshoe clip.If that is all there the tabs on that piece engages the bakelite switch when the light switch housing is properly installed on the end of the column with the wire bale holding it on.The horn button disc at the steering wheel has 2 tabs and they should be vertical to be correct.If your wiring connections are to the proper terminals you should at least have power to the brake light switch.Just take a small wire and touch across the terminals and bypass the switch-the brake lights should work if your bulbs are good and you have a good ground.
