AIRBAG light on after replacing gear box
I replaced the gear box and now I have the AIRBAG light on dash and no cruise control.
I have to admit it I turned wheel a lot trying to find if it was centered or not, and I didn't have pitman arm connected.
Did I disconnected some wires under steering wheel ?
I can remove it and check but I've never done it and I am a little worried it will blow airbag on my face. Anything to be aware of ?

What is the clockspring ?
Are you sure it's not the wires inside wheel that has been twisted on itself from turning wheel too many times past the limit ?

That is the wires inside the column going to the air bag and cruise control. They are under the air bag. Most likely you twisted the clockspring to tight and snap it!
Think of a coiled up spring that has wires running through it.

That's exactly what I thought 
Well I studied situation looks like it's not a big deal to remove wheel.
Does anybody know how to unscrew the stupid torx screw with a pin in the middle ?
I think a drill will take care of it, but if there is any solution less drastic ?
