okay so if you didn't know i had a 98 Cherokee Sport (RIP) with a problem where the airbag light was on all the time. i now have a 99 limited and last night the airbag light came on for about 8 seconds...i know the problem in my old Jeep was a clockspring because the horn didn't work. but in my new Cherokee the horn and cruise both work...does this mean i still have a failing clockspring? or is it some other little gremlin that i need to find?

Cheers

 

Sorry, I don't have any helpful advice for you. That said; What's up with you and airbag lights!??

 

NO IDEA!!!! i have had my new jeep less than a week and it happened! i think i'm cursed! oh and my cruise control only works after 35mph....weird or normal?

 

My cruise only works after 35 to i guess its a factory thing

 

Limited factory setting.

It is normal for it to stay on for 8 Ish seconds after starting or key on. If it came on while driving and went off then the situation is "corrected" I am not sure if it would have saved the code in the Ecm or not. but that's really the best place to start, If its off I would wait until it comes on and stays on.

 

Pretty sure both issues are normal. It says in the manual that Cruise control only works after a certain speed and the airbag light will stay on for a few seconds after start-up.

 

Thanks everyone! i will post pics of my new XJ soon (PS. Leather is way better than cloth seats!!!) hahaha

 

What the heck would you use cruise control for at speeds less than 35 mph?

 

Only time I've ever wanted to use it is this 2 mile long straight, flat piece of road that's 25 MPH

 

I'm not sure I've ever had a vehicle that had the cruise engage below 30-35 mph.
