Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / October 2004Clockspring question
I've seen mentionof the ABS clockspring causing problems in Chrysler ABS systems. I'm wondering if my '95 Eagle Vision is exhibiting this problem. My ABS light has come on several times under conditions, I can't duplicate. It always goes back off when I restart the car. Yesterday, as I made a low speed, non-panic sort of stop, the ABS activated, so now I'm wondering what kind of symptoms a bad clock spring will exhibit, and if my symptoms are consistent. How does one diagnose a bad clock spring? NO such thing as an ABS Clockspring. You have an ABS problem. Have it looked at pronto.

Usually, when it goes bad, the "airbag" light will come on. In addition, the horn and cruise control will usually no longer work. It may be limited to your ABS system. -Kirk Matheson >> I've seen mentionof the ABS clockspring causing problems in Chrysler >> ABS systems.

Perhaps because of it's resemblance to one? > | >> I've seen mentionof the ABS clockspring causing problems in Chrysler > | >> ABS systems.

Both are correct. It is a cable, that resembles a clock spring. I have always heard it referred to as a "clockspring." When I first started reading repair manuals calling it a clockspring, I was really confused, as to why a spring would be needed in the steering wheel when an airbag is there. -Kirk Matheson |
