01 Jeep TJ Sport.
Several months back I replaced the steering gearbox. Was 2nd time in a few months as I tried a salvage unit, was going to send original in for rebuild got told to just buy new from O'Reilly since not a 'built' jeep. Salvage one leaked like the first. In any case, 2nd time totally forgot to tie off the steering wheel, no clue if it moved or didn't. Few weeks go by and horn stops working. Had tried some basic troubleshooting, but college daughter's car and she's always gone when I have time. Fast forward a few months, still not tracked down, but now I notice after oil change air bag light is set off in dash! Needed to go to shop for AC tune-up. Have him check a few things and asked to scan the bag code and if I broke the clock spring to replace it.
He calls, AC working good again, can't get Air Bag code off any of his scanners and his parts stores are saying no clock spring. He's a bit stumped and he thinks the bag feels squishy as well when he presses the horn, but he says the horn 100% works at the horn, relay good, etc....
My google searches just now seem to say MOPAR no longer making these clock springs....what gives? How hard to pull this steering wheel to look into the clock spring? What are some other indicators? She hasn't complained about the turn signals or such. I see others are scabbing them from salvage vehicles, but that seems to be for cruise models, this is NOT a cruise control model.
It appears maybe summit racing has some listed. Anyone have a model number or source to get one? Should I pull the wheel and check the existing spring? My guess is I screwed it up by not securing the steering wheel and I know better! Ughhh!!
Why wouldn't he be able to pull a code? He has high dollar scanners and they've pulled seat codes off my Yukon Denali and I thought he even pulled an airbag code off something else of mine once.
