Sounds like the clockspring. It is a spiral assembly of wires to allow all the electrical devices on the steering wheel to spin around. You'll need to start by turning the steering wheel so that the tires are pointing straight. Disconnect the airbag, and remove any and all airbag-related fuses. then remove the airbag, usually via two or four screws on the back of the steering wheel. always store an airbag facing upwards so if it accidentally discharges, it won't be catapulted into the air. It's a good idea to gound yourself first to prevent static electricity from discharging it. You should see the clockspring inside the wheel. if not, then you'll need a steering wheel puller and the clockspring is behind the wheel. When you replace the clockspring, DO NOT turn it. it should be set to center by the factory, and this is why we straightened the weels earlier. turning a clockspring more than it was designed to move will pull appart the wires and make it useless. So install the new part, reinstall the wheel if you removed it, and install the airbag. Reinstall the fuses and connect the battery. Start the car and make sure the airbag light is off. test horn and cruise.
If the airbag light is still on, but the horn and cruise works, then there is a problem somewhere else in the airbag system. an OBD II code reader can tell you where to look.

Why does the cruise control not work on a 2000 ford expedition?
Ford Cruise Control Recall Ford Motor Company announced a massive safety recall on 1994-2002 vehicles to correct a problem that could cause the cruise control deactivation switch to overheat and create an underhood fire. * 1994-2002 Ford F-150s * 1997-2002 Ford Expeditions * 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigators * 1994-1996 Ford Broncos with factory cruise control Ford found that brake fluid could leak through the cruise deactivation switch into the cruise system's electrical components and cause corrosion. Corrosion can cause a short and keep the cruise control from working, but in some cases it can lead to a higher flow of current that can overheat and cause a fire at the switch. To repair trucks, Ford will install a jumper harness between the cruise control deactivation switch and the cruise mechanism. The harness will act as a circuit breaker and will turn off the current at the switch if the switch becomes shorted. Parts for the repair weren't available as of the recall date, so Ford asks customers to take their vehicles to dealerships to have the cruise control deactivated until the harnesses are in stock. Watch for a recall notice by mail if your vehicle is affected. You can read more details at www.genuineservice.com. Ford has added 1.2 million more vehicles to the cruise control recall. Now included are: * 1994 to 2002 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 trucks * 200 to 2002 Ford Excursions * 1994 to 1996 Econoline vans * 1996 to 2002 E-450 vans * 1998 Ford Explorers and Mercury Mountaineers
