Anti skid light and steering wheel symbol are both on. Horn is not working after replacing clock spring, airbag light came on after driving and the wheel feels tight and it makes a noise while turning?

Yep, the clock spring is defective or not installed correctly. Here is the instructions on how to install the clock spring or spiral wire correctly. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.

I have done clock springs before, I did remove the plastic housing around the column, it’s hooked up correctly but seems defective when I turn the wheel it sounds like something inside the clock spring house is broken or loose

O ya, that clock spring is defective. Did it have position pins that needed to be removed before installation? Thanks for the video it helped.
