I got in the van in my driveway and turned the ignition switch on then I noticed that the air bag light was on. So I turned the ignition switch off waited a minute then turned it back on and the light was still on. I thought it was a fuse so I proceeded to my destination. As I arrived at my mom's house I tried to blow the horn, then I found out that my horn did not work. So I turned the van off and I called a friend who is a mechanic and he asked me if the air bag light stayed on even after I turned the van on and off I said yes then I explained everything to him. He told me that I needed to try my cruise control. And if it did not work then my clockspring is gone. Well cruise control did not work. And the airbag light is still on.

Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
So far this vehicle has been a lemon. I have replaced everything on it, from fuel pump, sensors, steering column, belt tensioner and pulley, alternator, wiper switch that seems to have a mind of its own even tho I replaced a new switch. Now more electrical problems. The instrument cluster is now messed up. Abs light and check engine light keep coming on all my gauges go flat. Lights go dim. Then suddenly lights will flash and they will all come back on. Then go off again. Now, not only do they go flat but now I have a shifting problem. The vehicle will not shift. It seems to be stuck in 2nd gear. I replaced the whole braking system. Egr valve, cam sensor, cruise control, the body. The gas pedal use to accelerate on its own. That was a little scary goin down the road not knowing when it was gonna do that. Everyone who rides with me keeps joking as if the vehicle is haunted. Lights go weak, I've replaced all the bulbs cleaned the headlights. Nothing seems to work right on this vehicle. I've already invested thousands. Way more then its worth. I've had problems where the vehicle just refuses to start. Sometimes not a problem. Then usually in the cold it wont turn over at all. I have replaced the battery numerous times checked for codes. Airbag light would come on. Transmission hesitates. Sometimes vehicle shudders acts like its gonna quit.vehicle just has on going problems.
Dt: the vehicle speed control stuck at 45 MPH on september 2, 2005. The consumer was able to get the vehicle to stop by turning the key off. The consumer unhooked the cruise control cable, and he has not had any more problems since this. When the mechanic looked at the vehicle he found that one of the cable strands broke. The consumer is currently waiting for the replacement part.
Airbag light stays on while driving most of the time. Horn and cruise control has stopped working completely.
Airbag light illuminated, and two days later, horn and cruise control stopped operating. Consumer heard that when these components go out it may be a clock spring. Failure. Please provide any further information.
Clock spring on vehicle is not working properly which resulted in is that the air bag has been turned off. Also the cruise control has been shut off. Contacted dealer, and the dealer replaced the parts.
Clock spring on vehicle is causing problems in vehicle, for example the air bag light will come on, and the horn/cruise control are not working. *ak dealer charges of $217.79 in order to repair.
Consumer stated the air bag light was illuminated, causing air bag/cruise control and horn not work, dealer was contacted.*ak
Multiple elect. Problems with car: (3) alternators, wire harness(#12), replaced main computer, (3) map sensors, (1) o2 sensor, cruise control inoperable
Airbag light has come on. Dealer said that clock spring assembly needed to be replaced. *ak consumer stated that airbag will not work due to break in clockspring which supplies power to the airbag, cruise control and horn .
The dashboard indicator for the airbag came on and wouldn't go out. I took into the dealer and they diagnosed it as a failed clock spring. The horn and cruise control also were not working. In researching this on this site and the others it seems to be a fairly common part failure. It also seems that when it does fail the airbag will no longer function. If one doesn't realize the problem exists there could be a false sense of security. The dealer who replaced the part said that it wasn't covered under any warranty due to it being a passive restraint system part. I found a few mentions on the internet of recalls for this problem. Is this correct?
Airbag sensor light stays illuminated while driving. Also, cruise control is inoperable, and intermittently horn assembly is inoperable. Dealer has been notified.*ak possible clockspring failure.
