Default Steering wheel problems

Hi Girls and guys,

I was just wondering if anybody else has had this problem yet?
While wheelin sunday I had the airbag light come on and the horn died and the cruse control died as well It also had a strange plastic rubbing noice comming from between the wheel and the collum.

After talking with some friends, they said something called a clock spring went bad. And now RubyDoo just spent her second night away while the new one comes from Portland today. I WANT MY RUBYDOO BACK NOW!!!!!!!!! I misses her!!!!!!

I had my horn going off uncontrolably a few months back. They told me I had a bad clockspring and replaced it. No problems since. But I did not have any other issues with it

whpony96- Don't be nervous about the bag going because of a bad clock spring, it will only fail to fire if it has a bad clock spring.....
