what does it mean

My airbag light is on and i know which one is setting it off, its my steering wheel. The reason i know this is because my steering wheel does not work, as in the horn, the controls on it, and things like that. It turns correctly and everything just no electronics will work. Has something become unplugged or did something break? i have no clue where to even start looking, any ideas?

First check the fuses then the connectors under the seat. Yes there is a good chance the steering wheel is not the issue. Most of the time the air bag light issue can be solved by a disconnect / reconnect of the white and yellow harnesses under both seats. If that is not the issue you might have to go to the dealership. Working on the steering wheel electronics is something many do not wish to get involved with.

Thanks a lot, Expo1. Disconnect and reconnect of the wiring harnesses worked for me.
