I'm hoping someone knows of an easy fix for this because my mechanic didn't. My airbag light flashes, my horn doesn't work, and my steering waheel cruise control doesnt work either. All the fuses check out fine.
thanks.
I'm a high school student with little to no money. I have a 98 Contour SE w/ 2.5L 24v V6 w/ 100k miles. I'd like to make some cheap performance upgrades <$1000 or so. I only spent 4k on the car. Mainly, I HATE Honda Civics and I want to blow them away. I usually can anyways! Any suggestions please e-mail me. devonb_37@hotmail.com

Unfortunately, I checked both sets, but in the manual, the only thing related to the steering wheel is under the dash.

Just disconnecting the battery is all that you need to do.. But wait around 2-3 Minutes becauseI have seen them go off on technicians and $700.00's is a big chunk to eat... Be careful..
