Re: 2000 windstar airbag code 32 and horn doesn't work

Disconnect the battery 15 minutes before starting to work on it. This will prevent accidental deployment of the system.

I had the same code and problem, fixing the clockspring got rid of it. I never needed any reset procedure as the airbag module resets and tests itself each time you cycle the key. As 12Ounce said, there is a chance that it wasn't installed properly and has broke again. You can disconnect the yellow connector at the steering column and behind the wheel and measure resistance across both sides; if it shows no resistance, the wiring is OK and the problem is elsewhere (unlikely). If it shows a very high resistance (Mega ohms) or open circuit condition, the wiring is broken and needs to be fixed.
