2001 Caravan airbag light acting up

Check with your local dealer to see if the 91's have been recalled for clock spring failure. You may be among the first to experience the problem that we'll see if we keep our vans long enough.

When do you ever "need" airbags may I ask?

Oh yeah I forgot -when your a dumbfuck and don't wear your seatbelt.

It's why they are called SUPPLEMENTAL Restraint Systems.

Just how exactly did a douchebag that exploded out of your steering wheel 'save your life'? Did your seatbelt split in half and the douchebag catch you?

Or were you one of those ones who don't wear your seatbelts because your afraid of driving off a cliff into a lake and not being able to get out in time? Hey, maybe the douchebag can serve as a flotation device!

Who the hell is 'tim?"

Yes they are. As a matter of fact, that was the whole point of my previous reply.

I guess I should be the one to break it to you Glen... Dogs are incapable of participating in an argument.

So, who the hell is Tim?

Uh-oh.... Darryl snapped his fingers.

You broke the tape wire in the clockspring by letting the steering wheel spin. Replace the clockspring. Make sure the steering wheel is centered when you install this part.

Thank you maxpower!What the hach is a clockspring?will i need to take to deal i usually do my own repairs?thank you again!

It is the wiring between the car and the electronics on the steering wheel... cruise control, air bag, horn, etc. It winds and unwinds as you turn the wheel. In some cases there have been recalls for clockspring failure but it sounds like you broke this one yourself.

What Art just said except there was no recall on a clockspring for that model

Glenn

Just to clarify, there was no recall on the 300M for clockspring failure. There were for other models so your dealer will be very familiar with the symptoms should you decide to bring it in for repair.

Any time you work with the air bag system you should always disconnect the battery and wait about 5 minutes because working with the air bag system
