Default ClockSpring?

I have a 1997 GC with about 130K.


The horn and cruise control stopped working.


I've been reading lot of posts saying that the clockspring needs to be replaced. Most of these posts also indicate that their airbag lights are "on" too. My airbag light in not "on."


BTW: I checked the horn's fuse and relay and they're are OK.


So, without the airbag light being "on," does that rule out the clockspring?


BTW, the clockspring was replaced under the recall many many years ago. From what I can find, it appears that the clockspring has a lifetime warranty...so if it needs to replaced again, does that mean it's a freebee?


Thanks for your help with this.

The clockspring can cause any one of them to fail. Doesn't have to be all three. Yes, it has a lifetime warranty for it causing airbag lights. Not sure they would cover yours but you can ask.

Default All Fixed

Thanks for your help with this!


After a short discussion with the dealer, I took the Caravan in and they replaced the ClockSpring -- everything works again and it cost me nothing as the part does have a lifetime warranty.


Thanks again
