2000 Dodge Carivan - Air bag light comes on.

The air bag light comes on and stayes on, the horn works fine and the cruise control dash light comes on when I push the on button. The dealer replaced the clock spring a couple of years, if the horn ande cruise control works the it is not the clock spring.
What is the problem?

Air bag light on ? Have the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's in the air bag control module . That's the way to find out what the problem is . Suggest you take it to a qualified repair shop.

Before I even got done reading your post I was thinking clock spring. They aren't the easiest things to change but are definitely changeable. You will, however, need a steering wheel puller, more than likely. Most clock springs aren't cheap either.

Hope this helps out,

SOURCE: air bag light on constant, horn not working,

you need to have the codes read for the air bag to know for sure which direction to start ,but yes, they are all tied in to the clock spring.

Hello I have a 2000 dodge grand caravan, the air bag light came on and the cruise control quit working at the same time. I dont really care about the light but i do care about the cruise control. I have...

At first guess I'd say you have a bad "clock spring", it's inside the steering column and it feeds the electrical signals up to the controls in the steering wheel.
Your air bags won't work, your horn, or your cruise control. Anything that's in the steering wheel.
It will have to be replaced.
You can check with Dodge but I think there was a recall on them but I also think there is a time and mileage contraint.

Thecrusie control and horn do not work, along

check under the hood in the fuse/relay box for a blown fuse or relay. also there is another fuse panel under the dash next to the steering column. when u take the cover off the fuse/relay box under the hood look inside the lid and it will tell u which fuse/relay controls the cruise/horn/etc. hope this will help you!!!!

Hi, I have a 2000 dodge caravan. The horn, rear wiper,rear washer, rear defroster,cruise control and controls for heat settings, all not working. The air bad light is also on. Could it be a main fuse and...

The horn, cruise, and air bag light is probably the clock spring inside the steering colum. The rest of your problems could be a fuse but not sure on that. However The other problem because of the air bag is a safety issue and was Recalled. Call your local Chrysler dodge dealer with your Vin number and they should set up an appointment for you to get it fixed for free. (part of the recall) Good luck

I have a 2001 Stratus. Airbag light stays on

That happened to me when the clock spring in the steering wheel broke. But the clock spring controls the air bags, horn and cruise control. Check if your horn and cruise control works. If not, I bet it's the clock spring from turning your wheel. It was about $150 to replace. Good luck!
