Default Horn wont work, airbag light eont turn off.

Already swapped out my broken clock spring and that didn't fix either issue, just wondering what else could be causing my issues? Thanks

have you checked all your fuses? The fuse setup in my 98 is ****ing retarded.

Or is it possible you got a bad clock spring?

You can't tell without opening it if it is good. And before anybody chimes in saying you can't open it, you can.

you have to be VERY CAREFUL but they can be repaired.

You don't have to open them You can test it with the CS installed in the Jeep.

I've found that when my airbag light comes on if I hit the dash just above the gauges it goes off. It came on the other day and my blinkers quit working, I turned the key back just a hair and it went off and blinkers started working too. Before I bought a jeep it would have been strange, now it's just expected.

Do you have cruise control and does that work? If cruise works then your clock spring may not be the problem.
