Unhappy Electrical issues

anybody have any ideas on this? my airbag light has come on. there is no code in the computer to show a problem. in addition, my horn doesn't work when the button in the steering wheel is pushed. i have had an ongoing problem with the steering column. when tilted down, the radio and indicators don't work. could this be the harness? or a relay that is inline somewhere? can these problems be related?

you probably need to replace the clock spring, not something i would suggest doing yourself as it requires pulling the airbag out of the steering wheel and putting it back

do you think the problems could be connected to the same thing? or would that be too much to hope for?

+2 on clock spring. I had mine replaced when it was under warranty. Exact same symptoms. no horn, radio controls, etc on the steering wheel.

yea any grouping of electrical problems coming from the steeringwheel points at a clock spring

btw the clock spring is what all the wires going into/out of the steeringwheel run through
