problems 1994 air bag
Hi there my name is Jim Cole I have just bought my first ford it's a 1994 F150 ext cab my problem started when I kept hearing my flasher going off when i hit the brakes or turned corners or just because but the lites never luminated and then a couple of times my horn would not work, when i bought the truck the air bag flashed on and off i find out it is giving the code 32 i believe. now the rain has been fallen for days my horn dose not work i have checked the relay with and other still no ,now today the cruise doesn't work,I
have not heard the flasher for a couple of days could it be the **** ring behind the air bag i understand thats holds all the electric contacts? or could it be wet? there was little smoke i noticed coming out the head lite signal lite lever controll? thanks to all who reply Blessings Jim Cole

Code 32 is high resistance in Driver's side air bag module circuit - anywhere from the connnector at base of steering column up to and including the air bag module itself. Manual warns that direct reading of resistance of air bag module is not to be attempted!!
Code is set when resistance of 4 ohms or greater is sensed between pins 10 and 11 of air bag diagnostic module
Circuit consists of main harness and connector to air bag sliding contact, the sliding contact and the air bag module itself.
When the sliding contact or air bag module is disconnected, shorting bars are placed in the circuit is place of the components and you can measure the resistance of the circiut as long as the air bag module is not connected, also you can check the wiring by disconnecting both the module and the sliding contact assy, (clockspring) and measuring the resistance of the wiring only.
Hope this helps. Reference 95 manual.

I had air bag 32 flash in my 94 and it is/was caused by the clock spring behind the air bag. Be sure to get the problem fixed quickly because if it is shorted, it will causes the air bag computer to short therefore increasing cost to fix. If you cannot fix the spring soon unplug the computer under the dash until you get time. This also causes/ed problems with the horn. I haven't had any problems with flashers so I don't know if that would cause that problem or not.
