The airbag light in my 2006 Nissan Navara is continually flashing. My horn is not working and neither is the cruise-control. How do I get these fixed?
Answered by CarsGuide
6 May 2024It sounds very much like your car has a problem with what’s called its clockspring. This is an electrical contact that allows the functions controlled by, or mounted on, the steering wheel to operate while still allowing the wheel to be turned. Over time, the clockspring wears and finally breaks which is almost certainly why you lost the cruise control and horn functions at the same time. It’s also why the airbag light has illuminated, as the broken connector won’t allow the computer to talk to the airbag in the steering wheel.
Most workshops will be able to replace the clockspring, but unless you’re a competent mechanic, leave it to the experts as anything to do with an airbag requires utmost care and respect. Even the experts will disconnect the car’s battery before tackling any airbag issue.
