Default Airbag light on..few weeks later horn packs up!

Hey guys,ive searched this but cant find anything relating to a blob eye,but my airbag light came on,then a few weeks later my horn stopped working,could these be related? ive checked fuses,swapped relay,and messed with sensors under the seat regarding the airbag,nothing has sorted the problem so far.

Take batterey terminals off, 2x star key bolts from the sides undo and the airbag is off then gently takeaway and check behind if any of the wires look trapped or split etc once sorted hopefully as I did mine the light goes out automatically no need for reset
Might just be a wire disconnected or perished

One of many steering wheel change vids (air bag connectors may be different for a UK car)

When I changed the steering wheel on mine I broke the clip that holds in the airbag wires, which meant the airbag light was on.
I very nearly tangled them too, which would have put a lot of strain on the loom that holds the airbag and horn wire
But I replaced the clip from one of these:

And it sorted the airbag warning light.
