This happened to my 2001 chevy prizm and it was a fuse blown. The fuse box next to the steering wheel is where it was located. The little box that says "storage only" has to be taken out. Its a blue number 15 fuse. Once I changed it it blew again and it ended up being My front passenger turn signal bulb needed changed. But if you just change the fuse and it stays then it's only the fuse. Hope this helps.
Some Chrysler products have this "clockspring issue" (my Plymouth Voyager did) and it can cause those symptoms. I did an online search for recalls on the 1998 Prizm and came up with nothing mentioning a clockspring, so that is probably not be related to your car. I can think of a couple of possibilities: 1) You have two separate problems - you had an air bag issue, and now your horn died (you could try replacing your horn to see if that problem goes away).
2) You have a problem that is on a circuit that is connected to the same circuit card in the car's computer that controls the air bag and the horn, and because they're all on the same "circuit" your seeing problems in these other systems.
I would suggest doing electrical checks (fuses, wiring, connections, etc. - be careful around the airbag and it's circuitry (you might want a technician to do this).
keep the steering wheel in one spot, do not rotate, check horn by pressing pad in different areas. If it is intermittent then horn pad is concern. If it works well trying slowly turning steering wheel while pressing horn pad if there is a point in turning the wheel where horn becomes inop, then the common fault is the horn contact ring inside of the steering column
Sounds like you need to replace the horn. Check to make sure the horn's supply wire is getting power (check with a voltometer) if it is replace the horn. Since you are hearing a click, I believe the horn is the problem. If that doesn't fix it, let me know.
