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.

So they (mopar/jeep) have had this jeep clock spring recall issue for a while now... we have had it replaced twice now under the recall and it is still doing the exact same thing... so the recall fix was nothing but a sham... it did not fix the problem and the problem still persists and i am not fixing it for a third time when the solution they came up with for the recall is not a solution it just masks the problem for a little while... so now once again the clock spring is out in it and i am at my wits end with it!

Had an intermittent problem with the air bag dashboard light activating. this would occur at speeds of zero up to highway and would come and go without warning. the obd-ii code was b1b8f, driver seat track position sensor circuit open. after removing the driver seat to access the wiring harness discovered that one wire was broken at the sensor, partially held together by a "thread" of the wire insulation with bare metal exposed. the wiring harness had been installed under the seat with the wire pulled tight to the under seat "spring" wire support and held in place with a zip tie. i consider it likely that the up-and-down motion of the seat over a period of years caused the harness wire to break. the first picture shows the connector to which the broken wire was attached. unfortunately the broke wire is in the back, the one with the purple stripe. the second picture shows the broken wire after the wire plug was pulled out of the connector,

During the evening of october 16, 2019 while driving on interstate highway 84 near the eagle road exit 46 with my 5 year old grandson, my jeep had a catastrophic electrical failure. i could not get the turn signals, headlights, windshield wipers, or horn to work. later i learned that at least the drivers air bag was also inoperable. the next morning my local jeep dealer (larry h miller, boise, id) diagnosed the problem as a failure of the 'clock spring' the service manager called me and said that due to the ongoing recall of certain right hand drive jeep wranglers (nhtsa campaign numbers:16v288000, 13v176000, and 11v528000, all involving the clock spring) a new, redesigned, clock spring is not available for non-recalled vehicles. he to install at my epense a new clock spring, but of the old design, which would eventually fail.
