I'd check the clock spring under the steering wheel. Mine did the same thing.

Just replaced my clock spring about a month ago. At first my airbag light would come on and stay on for a while and then shut off. eventually it remained on. Then my horn stopped working and eventually my cruise control. Replaced the clock spring and that fixed everything.

My '96 is doing the same thing....but what is a clock spring and where is it???? Sorry for the dumb question, but just don't know. Thanks for any help!

It's the coiled wire in the steering column that allows you to spin the wheel while maintaining power to the steering wheel-mounted controls. It supplies power to the horn switch and airbag. You get to it by pulling the steering wheel (which requires a puller, don't ever expect to yank off a steering wheel without one.)

Thanks Sport45, I found my answer on another web forum and have bought a new one at the dealer for $98. Hope to get it put on this weekend, if I can get a puller...
