Steering wheel isn't getting any power
All controls on the steering wheel are dead (Cruise Control, etc), my airbag light is on, and my horn doesn't work (unless my alarm is triggered)

Any ideas? All fuses seem to be okay.

I'm thinking the spiral cable, but I want to rule everything else out first.

Is this the result of something changed or just happened out of nowhere?

I'm thinking it may have been a result from installing my headers. I had to disconnect the steering knuckle.

I'm afraid not. Seems like it happens often when people do headers. The wheel really has to turn to damage the clock spring though.
