You need the whats called the clock reel or clock spring aka clock reel sits behind the airbag and has electrical connections for the airbag and horn etc.

My insurance didn't cover it because the incident was basically in a race event.

Thanks it turns out it's only the horn because everything else even cruise control works except for the horn and airbag of course.

its weird how some will cover events and others wont, a buddy of mine went off track and hit a barricade, he told his insurance that and they covered his.... maybe because it was an actual track and not the street......

Some insurance policies will cover 'driver education' related events at a recognized road racing facility. But anything related to time/speed/distance type of events are NOT covered, unless it's a specialized insurance policy. As for illegal street racing, any evidence of that will usually void any sort of coverage...
