Little Red XJ

Not with cruise for that price. There is 2 versions, one witout cruise(less expensive) and one with cruise(outrageously priced).

Got some great info while looking over the "Airbag Light Won't Turn Off 98 Jeep Cherokee"

One of them sounds like my 98 cherokee sport. Big David said that if the cruise didn't work as well as the horn w/ the airbag light on that it could be one broken wire in the ribbon or where it attaches. Where would this be located? How would you verify?

It could be the clock spring located under the steering wheel. pull off the bottom cover of the steering colom and you should be able to see the wires for it. I think there are 3.

I have a 99 sport without cruise control, but my airbag light has been on for years and my horn doesn't work... Any help?

Most shops will not clear codes for an airbag. This includes a dealer. Its a liability issue. If they clear the code and the driver gets into an accident and the airbag malfunctions for whatever reason, that shop can be held liable, leaving them open for a lawsuit. I dont recommend clearing those types of codes.

Is there a part i could get to maybe fix the issue?

Since your gauges didn't drop off it's probably not the same problem as this TSB but something to be aware of anyway.

THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 08-20-98 REV. A, DATED OCTOBER 2, 1998, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES AND NOTED IN THE BOUND TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN BOOK, PUBLICATION NUMBER 81-699-99003. THIS IS A COMPLETE REVISION TO THE PROCEDURE.

SUBJECT:
Erratic, Intermittent Cluster Operation/Intermittent Air Bag Warning light.

OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves installing a repair harness containing a revised instrument cluster connector.

MODELS:

1998 - 1999 (TJ) Wrangler
1998 - 1999 (XJ) Cherokee

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
Some vehicles may exhibit an intermittent illumination of the air bag warning light or an intermittent tachometer or speedometer drop out. An Airbag Electronic Control Module (AECM) fault code - "No Cluster CCD BUS" message will be present.

DIAGNOSIS:
Using the DRB III(R), read and record all active and stored fault codes in the AECM. This condition is caused by minor oxidation of the BUS circuit terminals at the instrument cluster connector. Electrical terminals will show signs of oxidation, which will appear as darkened lines or marks on the cluster male terminals. These often appear as gray or black marks rather than the appearance of oxidation or corrosion usually associated with higher current carrying circuits. This condition will set a "NO CLUSTER CCD BUS" message. The fault code will usually be stored and not active. THIS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WILL NOT ADDRESS FUEL OR OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ISSUES. If this fault code is present, either active or stored perform the Repair Procedure.

1 05016261AA Cluster Connector Patch Harness

My 98's airbag light is on, and theres no code for it. ive cleared a few other codes i've addressed but theres not even an option to clear it.

I know on mine, the horn and cruise both work fine so maybe its something else for him.

Bumping this Thread, anyone think this might be my problem? My airbag light will stay on sometimes with dead tach/speedo, and now I have a Check Engine light with the Code P0123. Replaced my TPS when the CEL came on to no avail, and now thinking this may kill two birds with one stone?

Hi New to this forum : but thought I’d just pass on this info

my warning light for air bag on the instrument panel came on after I fiddled with the rear park/brake lamp. I discovered that I had blown a 10 amp fuse in the Integrated power module under the bonnet.

so : looking at info printed on the inside of the cover, I found 2 “spare” 10 amp fuses so I used one of those as I had no other spare available. Park/brake lamp now ok : BUT air bag lamp now on!!

It turns out these “spare” fuses are not spares : put new fuses in and air bag lamp now off

This info may be useful to anyone else with this problem

Thanks for the info. That's the exact problem I am having with my '98XJ.
