Yes , in a way. The connection goes through the clock spring just the same as the air bag module. Pre air bag cars used a horn brush but newer car's w/air bag's need a more sokid connection, thus the inception of the clock spring. It allows the air bag to remain "hard wired" at all times, unless of course the clock spring breaks. I allows constant connection while the steering wheel is being turned. Abroken clock spring will set a code in the SRS (air bag system) and turn on the air bag light meaning the system has been disabled because of a malfunction.
It is important to understand why the warning lights come on. The airbag light will come on in any car if there is an issue with any airbag in the car, an issue with the wiring to or from the air bags, an issue with the horn, or the wiring of the horn.
Possible clockspring failure.
It is important to understand the meaning behind the warning lights in a car. The Airbag light being on means that there is an issue with an airbag in the car, or with the horn system in the car.
After removing the airbag, you reconnect battery to test horn.
Airbag, no, horn, it is possible.
You need to have someone with a scan tool check the airbag system for trouble codes. The airbag system is not a place for do it your selfers.
hey, my 98 jeep has the same issue. Was looking into the horn being shot, but realized that the airbag light has been on for some time as well. Wondering if you managed to get to the bottom of your issue? John hojo53@hotmail.com
Most likely, yes. As long as what caused the horn to break did not affect the airbag system.
Probably a bad clockspring, be carefull that probably meens you're airbag is out of function too, Does the airbag light come on?
Suggest you have it checked for trouble codes. The engine computer and airbag system should both have codes.
I just bought a 94 f150 with exactly the same problem... no horn and airbag light flashing... I haven't looked at the problem yet... so I am very interested in a answer (fix) ...will watch with interest or will report the fix when I get around to it...
Look under the passenger seat. You'll find a connector for the airbag. Clean this connector or at least check if the wires are connected properly...
