Air Bag light code 12.

Look for a bad fuse or broken wire.

Im surprised you didnt have the "useful info" website bookmarked...it's posted on here all the time.

Good Luck

Think something there maybe grounded?

Sounds like a episode of the 1970's "hit" show..."Emergency!

"Rampart, this is 51, we have an airbag.... code 12!"

Thanks for that link... I've been on there before but lost it when I reformatted.

Looks like I need to replace my clock spring

What the hell is a clock spring? Do we have wind up clocks? I haven't had a clock in my car for like 6 years. I don't even remember what it looked like. Doesn't the stereo have a clock?

The clockspring is a common item to break in chryslers. From what
I gather it allows the horn to make contact when the steering wheel in is any position. Well it also has some connection with the air bag. Its located in the steering column. I'm sure one of these techinal guys will have a more in dept explanation of this part. Also can give you an idea of how to replace the darn thing.
My airbag light flashes as well. Don't rmemeber what code we pulled out of it, but I do remember that it had to do with something about the power supply. I haven't researched it anymore. I barley see the thing flashing.

Above is correct about the clockspring. I have not had the pleasure yet of doing one, but S&2B's reports that it is fairly common and not too hard to replace one (I am thinking Bimmertech might have some insight on this one - or one of the other dealership guys).

They are around 100 bucks IIRC.

Good luck Joe.

You guyz and your :OT: posts. Mod Joe is gonna get mad and delete this thread....










Wait a second...it's HIS thread

Joe, it seems to me that the clockspring is very much like the adapter used on aftermarket steering wheels (the cast piece with the turn signal cancelling cam, etc). I did a quick search in here and did not see anyone who posted info about how to do one.

If you dont find info otherwise, perhaps shoot StangPlus2Birds a PM (he mostly posts on the Corral but comes here occasionally). He is very good with EEC-IV and is the host of the Veryuseful website. I am relatively sure he has done a clockspring before.

If all else fails, I can look up the procedure later in the service manual for you. Let me know.

Good luck.

Joe...did you try Corral? I know it moves a little slower there, but the more places you post the better.
Good Luck
