1998 Lumina AIRBAG light on after honking horn

[HighMileage230000]

So I got frustrated at McDonalds the other day (some woman parked in front of me in the drive-thru so I couldn't leave) and I started laying on the horn. Ever since I bought this car a few months ago, the horn has been rather hard to honk-you have to press it in just the right spot. Well, after I honked the daylights out of it, the AIRBAG light came on and wont go off now. Can I pull the AIRBAG fuse to make the light go off?

u can plug off the battery for 10 minutes and let the door open that the rest of power gone.

After this plug in the battery and look. If the light stay on, unscrew the airbag and look at the cables, and if this doesnt help, buy new one...

ATTENTION: If u work on Airbag EVER PLUG OFF the BATTERY!!!

You could disconnect the battery, yes. Then reconnect and see if the lite goes off, if not do not replace anything without a scan using a air bag function scanner. There are 5 parts to this system and to replace anything is expensive and an appropriate diagnosis must be done, a code will lead to the problem. It is possible the clockspring is the culprit.
