Cuise Control/Airbag
 

98 T&C cruise contol failed. No cruise control light on dash when I select cruise. Strange that Airbag light came on the same time I noticed no cruise control. I do not see any fuse or rely marked for cruise control. Any suggestions on what to check would be appreciated. Service Engine Soon light just cost $350 for an EGR valve. Not in the mood for another big repair bill. Thanks!!

YAHOOOO...I can't wait to call the dealer tomorrow with my vin number. I sure hope you're not pulling my leg. Clock spring sounds a lot like fluxcapacitor. I'm in Decatur, Alabama just west of Huntsville and loving it.

Nope, he's not pulling your leg. The clock spring is a VERY common failure on this generation of minivans. Is the recall applicable 2nd, 3rd, etc. owners as well, or just the original owner?

FYI: The clockspring is what allows you to turn the steering wheel w/o pulling all the wires out of thecruise control switches. It's a bunch of wires wound much the same way a clock spring is wound, hence the name. I think in the old days, they used copper slip rings for this function.

this recall will go for whom ever and for as long as the van is on the road,life time.

Thanks so much guys. I just called the dealer and they said bring it in and they'll fix it for nothin. It's covered even with the 148K miles. Made my day!!! Can't wait for something else to break..this is fun! Ha, Ha!
