Airbag, horn and cruise control on the fritz

Hey all. After it rained here on Friday of last week, maybe some water shorted something. My airbag light is on, my horn does not work, and my cruise control does not turn on either. All problems are centered around the steering column. Checked fuses and they are all good. Is there something else I need to check to figure out whats wrong?
Thanks!

For the cruise control check your vacuum lines for breaks or disconnected lines.

Gonna be the clockspring. I bought a jeep w/ the airbag light on and got them to fix it. The horn worked to pass inspection and then quit along with the Cruise control. New Spring = working. Had a hard time finding one though for some reason. I think they are centered around your vin or something. Good Luck.
