Clockspring or...?
Hi all. Got a bit of a problem here, hopefully someone can offer some insight.
Got a security/remote start installed a couple weeks ago. Immediately after, my steering wheel radio controls (that I run thru an adapter to the aftermarket stereo) stopped working. Thought maybe I just had to reprogram it. But now I'm getting an intermittent airbag light flashing code 32, which the Great Interwebz tells me is probably a clockspring issue. Cruise control and climate controls still work fine, and the airbag thing is only sometimes, tho it does seem to be getting worse.
Thoughts? Good source for a replacement?

I was wondering that myself, tho I could have sworn they said they put it deep in the dash. I haven't had a chance to poke around under there yet, are the airbag & radio wires on different plugs by chance?

Yes, they are. The radio, cruise, etc. in the steering wheel is all connected through the clock spring. The clock spring is a ribbon cable that rotates around the steering shaft. There is a plug for the airbag directly behind the airbag on the front side of the steering wheel - it is on a separate circuit. I think there is also a second plug for the airbag towards bottom of the column.
