My 98 Cherokee 4.0 has the following problems:
No cruise control
No horn
Airbag Light on
Does this mean it needs a new clock spring?

 

Yep...new clockspring.

 

Yep. Definitely sounds like a new clockspring is in order. Make sure you get the one for the cruise, because there is a different part for the non-cruise option.

Be careful when installing. They are easy to over-wind and break.

Good luck!

 

Yup.

Just replaced mine. It fixes it.

 

The junkyard wants to sell me the whole steering column so which is best-just replace the clock spring or the entire column?

 

Uh... you might as well do what the junk yard tells you because the clock spring is a $300 dealer-only part.

A little cheaper if you go online:

You will save a LOT of money if you get one without cruise control.

 

You are most certainly shopping at the wrong place......

 

And it's not "Dealer Only" part.
