No horn or cruise control, and a blinking airbag light.

Alright, so I got in a little bit of an accident with a curb. Bad tires, rain, and gravel on cement pretty much made my life suck. I dont remember what I broke, but I could spin my stearing wheel around like it was on a bearing. I cracked a rim too. This happend a couple months ago. Now, my cruise control wont go on, my horn stopped working, and my airbag light wont stop blinking. The mechanic said it had to do with something in my stearing wheel that broke. I cannot remeber what he said it was, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what could be broke.

Thanks guys.

I would get get it checked at a dealer before it goes off and you have to replace that,

Secondly, driving around with a airbag that doesnt work isnt exactly a good thing incase you encounter another curb encounter or worse.

i did the exact same thing a year ago, they told me they couldnt fix it because the wires in side the steering column were ripped out by the wheel turning all the way around.
if thats true i dunno but i've gotten used to it although it does suck not haveing a horn

That makes me sad. Is there anyway of getting rid of the flashing light?
