Since the majority of vehicles today have sensors throughout, the dependency for a well-working electronic system is required for them to properly function. It looks as though your airbag might be sensing that you've either hit something or that you will hit something if you don't get work done to your vehicle. AI in vehicles has basically taken on a mind of its own, if you don't mind the pun. The work required could be a number of things, but most common are your wheels being either out of balance, not properly aligned, or the engine drinking too much water in ratio to the oil intake. The horn has stopped working because of the sensor for the airbag light being triggered to prevent you from falsely thinking somebody is driving recklessly when in reality it is your vehicle that has something wrong with it. My recommendation? Try taking it to a professional and tell them to give your car 'the works'. They'll know what you mean.
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.
ON THE STEERING WHEEL!!!! (Okay sure). the actual horn module that makes sound is under the hood. the wire is attached to the airbag. remember when your doing work near the airbag or with the airbag to disable it.
Possible clockspring failure.
it's at the front passengers side beside the rad. bolt on top
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.
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.
Location of horn on 97 Chevy cavalierit is inside the front right bumper by the marker light
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.
