Tonight I did some troubleshooting, but was assuming that the issue was a broken wire in the spiral cable. The actual problem turned out to be that the wire between the horn switch and the spiral cable was damaged when the airbag deployed. It wasn't visibly damaged, so I didn't notice it when I replaced the airbag.

So, since I am the person who's name is synonymous with Yaris cruise control, I figured the simplest fix would be to install cruise control on her. (Since the OEM cruise control stalks that I sell have the wiring harness attached with the integrated horn wire).
I absolutely love when u use something not working as an excuse to upgrade an entire system i.e. horn not working so I'm getting cruise control...not the first time I've seen u do that between crashy 1 & 2 and I just had to let u know how awesome it is lol.

Much to my wife's chagrin, I use that same theory with everything that I work on.
