need help please 96 grand caravan

ok i just got a 96 G caravan everything works except for the horn and cruse control i pulled the airbag and switces out and tested them and the switches work so what could be wrong? i have checked all fuses there all good lights blinkers wipers hazards all work but could it be that black thing behind the wheel that everything plugs in to? i know that the horn its self works as i set off the alarm (oops) but not with the horn button and i dont get a light on the CC botton please help thanks Smokey

Is the air bag light on too? Sound like a bad clockspring-very common on these.

yes air bag light is on will the clock spring from a 96 caravan with a deployed airbag work? or does it have to be a good airbag? thanks

It could work, if is a good part. I would just put a new one in and be done with it. But I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it, they are easy to put in. Make sure the other van has cruise.

there was a recall on the clockspring , but i don't recall exactly what year. when it's bad, the airbag lite will be on and the cruise won't work.

if it's the clockspring , it's covered under the lifetime recall warrenty

RC-B24-02 Safety Recall No. B24 -- Clockspring/Lifetime Warranty
1996 thru 1998 minivans

i thought it was 96 & others, but i wasn't sure of how far up it went. my buddy's sisterinlaw had it done to her van, but i can't recall what year it was. thanks for the info !

My 99 had a recall.

99's are covered under a different recall and different clockspring pt number
