when i put my new wheel on, i didn't need to disconnect any wires...
sounds like you've got a short somewhere, or a bad earth for interior/dash lights.

I had to change the backing on the streering wheel as it was from a fairmont, and mines a GLI so i took off the cruise control buttons horn etc and replaced it with the gear out of the GLI wheel so it still has all the same wires/ airbag as before.

your odometer is most likely just the globe, very easy to fix this, do a search and you should find several threads on it.
your horn is a more interesting one. i had the same problem in my laser, push the horn button and nothing but a clicking sound from under the bonnet. i replaced the actual horn. Though unlikely, its maybe just coincidence that your horn carked it when you started playing with the steering wheel. go to a wreckers a pull a horn off there and try that, should be relatively cheap. the fact that when you push the horn button in, its doing something, makes me think its all wired up ok, and the problem is at the horn end.

The clicking is from the horn relay not the horn. Check your earth, then try replacing the relay.

Where is the earth for the horn? also where is the horn relay?

Yeah I fair had to give the old wheel a flogging to get it off the rack, went to the auto elecs got a bulb cant be that had too do just take off the suround take out the cluster, unscrew old bulb and pop in the new one, and bam it costs $1.50 and not $200 if ford did it! looking forward to pulling the dash apart give me a chance to have a look around etc. learn some s**t.

Cool, yeah the old globe in now u can still see it but only just its real real dim, so that makes me think the bulb is rat s**t and its not any of the wires or anything.

Ok i put the globe in, when the cars headlights are turned off the oddometer lights up not as bright as it was before it s**t itself but enough to see it now, but when u turn the headlights on it goes all dim and s**t like the last one??? any qlues, its a GLI so there is no cluster dimmer switch or anything, did they give me the wrong bulb??
