2001 Dodge Neon air bag light/horn doesnt work


My air bag light wont turn off, and 2 days after it wouldnt turn off, i noticed that my horn doesnt work eaither, i have checked the fuses and all are fine, i was told to check the relay, but is their a relay for the horn on my kind of car, if the relay isnt the problem, then what is the cause of my horn not working? I cant afford $150 for a diagnostic to determine the problem.

when the horn is out and the airbag light is on constantly that sounds like a bad clockspring. i suggest you take it in and have it changed as you dont want to mess with the air bag.

I had it checked out earlier, turns out it is the clock spring that it broke, i called the dealship and they said that it will cost $97 and change for the clock spring, since dealerships are always more expensive, is their a different place that i can get a price for one that is cheaper, or are dealerships the only companies that carry car parts? how about pick & pulls, would that be ok? does the part from a pick & pull have to be the same year as my car? or does it not matter? thanks

get the same year and model.

you can try with a autopart store such as autozone autovalue they may carry one but you wont get it much cheaper.

and dealer parts are of better quality anyways.
