I have a 1998 Windstar GL at start up the air bag light comes on and flashes 3 times then 2 times repeats that sequence several times then stays on, the horn button has quit working and the cruise control stopped working as well. This is something that has just started about a week ago and I have looked at all the fusess under the dash and under the hood. I have looked for disconnected connectors and found nothing. I would like to say they are related to one another but have no good info on where to look. Also I have found that 32 indicates drivers side airbag problme such as open circuit... but what connector or ground is it? I am hoping someone here is a technician that is willing to cough up the good info with applicable safety precautions.
Thanks

Sounds like a problem with the clockspring. All 3 functions run through it.
Disconnect the battery and leave it for 10 minutes to discharge the airbag system. Remove the steering wheel and the clockspring is right there. You can probably use a DVM to check the wiring, but I doubt it's repairable, especially if the break is inside.
