No, there isn't a specific fuse for the clockspring in most vehicles. The clockspring is an internal component that connects the steering wheel controls to the vehicle's electrical system, allowing for functions like airbag deployment and steering wheel-mounted controls. If there's an issue with the clockspring, it typically requires diagnosis and replacement rather than a simple fuse replacement. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic for accurate information.
Defective horn, horn switch, or blown fuse. add to that a possble faulty clockspring in the steering column.
Yea, the 1993 Buick Lesabre does have a fuse for the horn. However, there could be other reasons why the horn doesn't work, the clockspring or relay could be out.
Checking the fuse is definitely a great idea. Is it just the horn or everything on the steering wheel? If it is everything, it has been my experience that when the horn or any of the options on the steering wheel do not work, it is most likely the clockspring. That is what was wrong with my vehicle. Luckily for my van, the clockspring is a dealership RECALL ITEM. Another indication that it could be the clockspring is the AIRBAG or possibly ABS lights staying on.

The buttons function off the "clockspring" inside the steering wheel, that is where they get their power. The clockspring wiring harness may have come loose. If you aren't familiar with these parts, don't try disassembling your steering wheel or you may end up activating the airbag, very dangerous.

Driving with a broken clockspring is not safe. The clockspring is crucial for maintaining electrical connections between the steering wheel and the vehicle's systems, including the airbag, horn, and steering wheel controls. A malfunction can lead to airbag deployment issues in an accident or loss of control over steering features. It's advisable to get the clockspring repaired before driving the vehicle.
Yes, the clockspring is part of the wiring of the airbag system. A faulty clockspring could keep the airbag from functioning.
You can pull the airbag fuse, disconnect sir yellow wire at steering column that goes to the clockspring, or disconnect the battery neg cable. The last is foolproof but will clear out anything with a memory.
Disconnect battery cable. Remove airbag on steering wheel, then pull the wheel off with a puller. The clockspring is located behind the wheel. There are 3 plastic tabs on the backside of clockspring which secure it in place. Bend them back slightly to remove clockspring.
There is a "clockspring" in the steering column that is probably broken. When the clockspring breaks, the airbag light comes on. The "clockspring" takes the place of the old slip rings and spring loaded contacts used in older cars to transfer circuits from the steering wheel to the stationary column making the airbag, horn and speed control operational. To replace involves removing the airbag. Take it to the dealer. This was a recall but was not made public, i had the same problem and the dealer fixed it for free. The airbag light came on in my 1994 Caravan and I found the clockspring answer. But when the clockspring is bad, the horn won't work and my horn did work. I called the dealer's service dept and got the clockspring answer. I said it's not that because the horn works. I was told to bring it in for an $80 diagnostic test. Instead, I went back to the manuals and checked the fuse information. Fuse #13 showed the air bag and the rear wiper together. My rear wiper wasn't working, so I replaced fuse #13 and that fixed the problem! It could be several things. The fuse, clock spring, connection at the air bag harness, bad ground wire. If it is the air bag connection you are going to check make sure to disconnect the negative batter cable to avoid accidentally triggering the bag and causing serious injury to yourself. If you need to change the fuse (although not stated or totally necessary) for the air bag i would also disconnect the battery cable just to be safe. Hope all this info helps to find your problem. Good luck with it. You can also use a code reader to reset the code and see if it stays off.
