Default Air bag clock spring?

Anyone have a suggested place whee to purchase one? 99 XJ, airbag light on and no horn... I bought a spring earlier last year, didn't get aroound to installing it, then it was the incorrect part, not even close. I found the spring that I need, but a few places that I checked, the part was over $250. Thanks guys, great forum!

Don't get in an accident to avoid use of the airbags and use your middle finger in place of the horn.

A real Clockspring will cost big bucks no matter from whence it came.

The ones for $70-90 are for a Grand Cherokee.

Why are all clock springs fairly cheap except for the XJ?

Amen, the incorrect clockspring I bought was $55.
The main reason that I don't want to go used is because I don't know if the spring has been set on "dead center" and may be "offset"... Thanks guys, I'll keep looking and report back with what I find.

I got mine from this Ebay seller. $100/shipped/ Used.
Make sure you get the one with cruise, if you have that option. More expensive.
