After I had my rack and pinion steering repaired, my cruise control no longer works and the light is on constantly for my airbag. The mechanic I had do the repair on the steering said this is unrelated, but the cruise and the airbag were fine when I brought the vehicle in. My question is: What would have caused these two new issues and is it something I can check or repair myself. The mechanic said he wanted $300 more to fix these new issues.

if anything he may have caused the air bag light to come on depending on what the code is. do you have the code. if he turned the wheel to far when he put the rack and pinion in and didnt line it up correctly he may have damaged the clock spring in the steering column. get back to me with the code
