Sounds like the clockspring is not hooked up.

Looks like this>> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...sting. It houses the horn and air bag wiring. It is easily damaged too.

My best guess would be the clock spring is damaged internally. It works like a yo-yo does and is very fragile.

If the clock spring or spiral cable is not centered then it gets damaged when turning past the preset axis.
