Airbag light flashes in what appears to be an error code 32. What could this mean?

You need a scanner to get the correct fault code. They have four digits.

The most common failure is a clock spring that is coming apart. That is a wound-up ribbon cable in a plastic housing under the steering wheel. As it continues to break, other circuits on the steering wheel will also stop working. Those include the horn and cruise control.
