Default Clock Spring

Hey everyone my air bag light is on and will not shut off and I have used multiple scan tools on it and yet no trouble codes, is it the clock spring? If so wouldn't my cruise control and horn sease to work because they both work fine.

Doesn't sound like clockspring....check your airbag fuse.

it could be the clockspring thats how mine was the crusie went then the horn and then the airbag light came on so it may be u can take your sterring wheel a part and do a ohm test on the clockspring to see if it is starting to fail

and ps there like $$300 at the dealer and there usually a dealer only item

I would take my chances and try to find one on ebay or a junkyard...sure as hell beats paying 300 bucks
