So you think the clock spring is out too?

The reason for the bypass was to avoid ending up with the same problem again. Same reason I went with Bulletproof Diesel parts for the EGR cooler, oil cooler, and FICM, rather than OEM parts.

I found some used airbags on ebay, starting at around $100. I may have to check out some junkyards, but I don't know how to tell if the horn switch would already be collapsed and stuck.

Thanks,
Joe
