Do you possibly have a flashing air bag light? Mine has one (I'm just lazy ..it's the clock spring) flashing a 4-2 and the horn and cruise don't.

There is a device known as a clock spring in your steering wheel. It is the connection in your case for the air bag, horn, and CC (if you have that). Usually when one goes down, apparently your air bag connection did, the others usually follow.

oh, just FYI, if you decide to fix it, the part is about $90, plus the air bag diagnostic module may have blown an internal fuse which necessitates a new module. I don't remember the price offhand but it was well over $100. I have yet to fix mine.

I was mad because I thought the clockspring would fix my airbag too.

SO, before you tear into it, just be aware that the clockspring may not be the ONLY issue and even after replacing the clockspring your airbag may still not work. But your horn should, so you can make all those people get out of your way and (hopefully) not need your airbag!

beep beep, out of my way, jerk!
