You may have a bad 'Clock Spring' or 'Clock-Switch' which is the winding found in your cars steering wheel, in dead center of the steering wheel. ................................................................................... This also controls the car's horn (It wont honk manually yet the alarm system will continue to work) as well as the airbags 'alarm system'( for lack of a better way to put it.) My Lincoln LS had a bad clock-spring and every 50 miles i'd hear the systems warning bell go off (25 bells each time, every 50 miles, code reader said it was related to the airbag) -- once the clock spring was fixed, the cruise worked, the horn honked and the 25 bells per each 50 miles finally ceased ringing. The part itself was a bit on the pricey side so my mechanic repaired the broken winding with a soddering iron and it still works today.
