[QUOTE="Speartip, post: 453454, member: 23341"] I did a bit of googling . I quote; Problems with the airbag clock spring occur when the wires inside the clock spring become fatigued over time and break. This can cause an open circuit or a short circuit in one or more of the systems connected by the clock spring. The clock spring can also become damaged if the driver's airbag is deployed in a crash. The airbag (or SRS) warning light will usually come on when the clock spring is damaged. The horn, radio, cruise control, or any other component that is operated through the steering wheel may also stop working, or may work intermittently. Fuses may blow with a short circuit in the clock spring, and in some cases, electric arcing and smoke can come from the steering wheel. The battery issue may very well be related to the clock spring . As what is written above it can c ause a short circuit [B]A shorted circuit can cause a parasitic drain on the battery and if in the right place cause many other issues.[/B] I would most def get the clockspring replaced first . As it's also a safety issue . [/QUOTE]
