Air Bag code 32, then 51
Hi there. First post, but I have used a lot of information from this forum since I bought my truck at the end of last year. Thank you for that.
My problem is with the air bag / clockspring.
When I bought the truck, I had an air bag code 32 flashing. The horn and cruise worked. Last month I lost the horn and cruise. I can't recall any specific event that might have trigged them to go away. After some research, I realized it was probably the clockspring. Replaced it this evening, old clockspring had no continuity end-to-end. New clockspring does have continuity. After replacement, the horn and cruise still don't work. I now have an air bag code 51.
I understand from research that this code means I need to replace the air bag module. I can't find one at a local parts store or online so far.
Also, shouldn't the horn and cruise work, even if the air bag module is toast?
I don't have schematics for this, or I might be able to go a little deeper before asking for help.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you have a haynes manual? if so check the wiring diagrams you may find it there Ill see if i can find one as well. I have the XL version and my horn did not work and the airbag light flashes constanly. I dont really care about the airbag as long as i have my seat belt and i installed a set of aftermarket horns that cover the horn and i installed the button on the dash. and they are louder than the stock horns that came with the 95 f150 truck my buddy has.
