Horn and cruise control wont work

[mattc]

So i'm getting no power to my steering wheel. no horn, cruise control, and i have my air bag light on which i figure is b/c its not reading my steering wheel one. oh yeah its an 02' wrx. i checked all the fuses under the hood and along the drivers side. so is there a relay or something i'm missing. i already checked the connection at the steering wheel and its seems good unless there's on i can't see.

This post also intrests me.
My cruise control doesn't worl also, i cant figure out why, everything seems to be in working ordet all fuses and conectionas are ok

so i decided to go a little deeper into troubleshooting, and i pulled the airbag and steeringwheel off. i'm thinking it might be the switch which connects everything on the steering wheel to the column. i just need to get a hold of a multimeter to see if i have a good connection there. if not than i know what it is.

I had the same problem. The fuse kept blowing on my horn/cruise control, it turned out to be a short in one of the steering wheel circuits. Fixed it at the dealer.

Has anyone found a fix to this problem? My Horn, and cruise control doesn't work and the Airbag light is now on....LIVID!

Did anyone find out if the switch in the steering wheel is to blame or what?

Thanks

Assuming you have checked the fuses?

All the fuses are fine unfortunately, I just have to assume the clock spring is faulty!

its the roll connecter or "clock spring". you will need to disconnect the battery, pull the air bag out of the wheel. mark the steering wheel cog and the steering column spline with permanent marker. Keeping the front wheels straight, take off the steering wheel and you will see the roll connecter, its a circle with an arrow on the bottom and a yellow sticker. replace that, line everything back up and you will be good to go. I replaced the steering rack in my 02 and spun the wheel like an idiot, POP goes the very expensive part! hope that helps. Please do not force the roll connecter on or off and make sure the arrow on the roll connecter matches the one on the column.

Also make sure you wait at least 10 min. after you disconnect the battery, there are capacitors in the airbag control module that need to discharge in that time...
