Default Probably the "clock spring"

The component that interconnects the wiring from the steering wheel buttons, airbag, horn, etc to the steering column and wiring harness. It is in a plastic encased module sandwiched between the wheel and the end of the steering column so I doubt you will even get spray in there. Have at it (with rags for the mess) but expect a wheel pull and part replace is the likely full fix.
