I have a 97 plymouth grand voyager that I have had for 2 yrs. When I bought the van everything was working properly. For about a year now I have been having problems with the electrical system. First my cruise control stopped working,then my horn,now my blinkers only work sometimes and alot of times I have to turn on my bright lights for the blinkers to work. The airbag light is always on which means it is not functioning correctly. These are big problems with the wiring system and it is very expensive to have the whole thing rewired. My husband is a mechanic and he said it will cost over $1000 to have everything fixed correctly.

The air bag warning light comes on intermittently. According to the information given to me by a local chyrsler dealer, this problem is typically caused by a faulty clock spring, and the driver's side air bag will not deploy when the warning light is on. The clock spring was replaced once under warranty on june 6, 1997, at 7922 miles. My complaint at that time was a crunching sound that came from the area of the steering column, when the steering wheel was turned in either direction.
The consumer states that the clock spring is bad and the air bag light stays illuminated, the horn will not work, and the cruise control will not engage. *jb
