Tipm problems from the research i've done. car goes haywire! horn goes on randomly and stays on even when driving! wipers go on and off randomly even when i try to use the wiper switch to control it, nothing happens. wiper fluid goes on and off randomly even when not controlled by switch. doors lock and unlock randomly while driving even when not using the remote. alarm goes off while driving with the horn. all dashboard lights randomly flash on and off while driving. all these weird events usually occur at the same time or randomly by themselves. mostly happens when driving or when trying to initially unlock and enter the vehicle for use.

My steering wheel controls are no longer working. this includes the horn, channel and volume control. they will work when the steering wheel is turned 45deg from top dead center. my research shows that this issue is caused by the "clock" spring assembly behind the air bag. jeep currently has a recall out for rhd wranglers and their clock spring assembly. i believe there are also issues with the lhd (left hand drive) models as well. i am taking this to the dealer in the morning. note the problem occurs when the vehicle is in motion or not.
