if you scratch the plastic behind the top of steering wheel, it sounds like what im describing. it sounds like plastic rubbing on plastic. i checked around the steering wheel, but there isnt any visible part touching the plastic. can there be wires inside that turn when i turn? if so, how do i remove the plastic covering the steering wheel area?

could be the cable retractor (dont know the p.c. term) that connects the wires to the steering wheel

Here you go..
It's called a spiral spring or airbag igniter. Whichever you prefer. Not a job for the faint of heart (or technically proficient). Need to remove the steering wheel and the bag. A few screws and voiiillllllllaaa!! Recommend dealer or someone who knows what they're doing (could be you, I'm not sure).HTH

not sure... however...
it could lead to your airbag/horn disconnecting... your steering i dont think will be effected but the other two will be disabled... if it indeed is that which is causing the problem.
