This is task for an auto electrician but you could check the wiring connection on the column possible only earth wire is disconnected. Especially if the horn doesn't operate as well. Allan Caution!!!!!!! Do not attempt to remove or test any yellow coated wiring or airbag assembly danger will trigger airbag deployment.

SOURCE: Cruise control will engage and reengage when using

Yes, you are correct, the brake light switch, at times called the microswitch on a Jaguar will cause the problem with your cruise control, as you have described. It resets and corrects itself with the ignition off, but once activated the fault will return. I hope this helps.

2008 F150 Regular cab I think the dealership un hook my light to airbag so now my warning buzzar will not stop going off please help before I go crazy?

Why would the dealer unhook the air bag light ? Turn the key to the on position ,is the air bag light lit ? That would be ******* for the deal to disable air bag light . An besides ,there is no buzzer for a non working airbag light. So take it back to the dealer.

Air Bag Warning Indicator The instrument cluster is hardwired to the restraint control module (RCM). If an air bag system concern is detected, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is logged, and the RCM provides a ground path to the instrument cluster, turning on the air bag indicator

If there is a problem with the airbag system a DTC- diagnostic trouble code would set

Restraints Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index DTC Description Action B1869 Lamp Air Bag Warning Indicator Circuit Open Go To Pinpoint Test N . B1870 Lamp Air Bag Warning Indicator Circuit Short to Battery Go To Pinpoint Test N . All other DTCs - REFER to Section 419-10 .

2001 f250 airbag light came on horn won't work or cruise controls or automatic hubs won't lock. Is this all connected? It happened at the same time

The horn switch and the air bag and cruise control wiring in the steering wheel go through the clock spring, ford calls it air bag sliding contact. The clock springs have been know to go bad.

I have 2000 audi a4 i replaced 2 air bags & seat belt tensioners i need to retriger air bag controll unit HOW

4_12_2012_11_26_31_pm.gif

"Retriger airbag control unit"??? NOT! If the airbags are deployed in a 2000 Audi A4, the airbag control unit MUST be replaced. Pleases refer to 2000 Audi A4 service information for more details.

1996 chrysler town & country horn & cruise control not working. Airbag light is on

this problem is typically fixed by replacing the air bag clock spring, located below the air bag itself. Chrysler offered a lifetime warranty extension for certain 1996-1998 minivans with this problem. contact a Chrysler dealer and give them your vehicle identification number to see if yours falls under this warranty.

The airbag light stays on and the cruise control does not work

The air bag light has to do with the air bag sensors in the bumper being bad, or the air bag module being bad.

The cruise control not working has to do with a broken cable from the cruise control mechanism, or a blown fuse for cruise control, or the cruise control being turned off.

Cruise control,and radio controls on steering wheel, now air bag

The problem is the coiled ribbon contact under the steering wheel (we call it the clock-spring contact) that connects the stereing wheel controls to the steering column wiring harness, this is a printed circuit that is coiled to allow the wheel to move and still have a psychical contact for the wheel switch's and the airbag, anyway replace that contact coil, u must disarm the airbag to do this repair, follow the factory procedure to do this or serious injury can result if the airbag fires.

Air bag light keeps coming on in my 1999 jeep grand cherokee. That ding is getting on my nerves. Can't find my manual anywhere

the airbag light coming on is telling you that a problem exists in the airbag system. you need it get it to a dealer or reputable garage and have the system checked. with the airbag system malfunctioning it is possible the airbag wont properly deploy in an accident or may deploy without warning

Horn,airbag light,cruise control

ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MAY BECOME DISABLED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE CLOCKSPRING, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE HUB OF THE STEERING WHEEL. Consequence Summary: THIS CONDITION WILL MANIFEST ITSELF THROUGH ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP, AND COULD EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A DRIVER'S AIR BAG OPEN CIRCUIT, IF THE PART IS NOT REPLACED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. Corrective Summary: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY ON ALL COVERED VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS. FOR THOSE VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 70,000 MILES, DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL OFFER AN EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY UNDER WHICH IT WILL REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING AT NO CHARGE IF IT FAILS. DAIMLERCHRYSLER WILL ALSO REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE CLOCKSPRING REPLACED ON THEIR VEHICLES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 12, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. A malfunctioning clockspring can also effect your cruise control,radio, wipers, and your horn relay. This can also happen one at a time til none of these are working.The solotion is to get the clockspring replaced . I DO NOT suggest you doing this on your own!
