Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / July 2008Clockspring on 2000 Ram 2500
My airbag light first started coming on during left hand turns, now it is on full-time. Also have lost cruise control. So based on research here, I'm suspecting bad clock spring. Looking at this link (2001 TSB) http://dodgeram.info/tsb/recalls/982.htm (thanks Geno's!) it looks to be a pretty straightforward fix. Is this something for the DIY mechanic? One thing I don't know about is how to remove the tilt steering knob. I quickly glanced at it and I don't see a set screw, and I couldn't just twist it off. Anybody know how this is removed? Also, would a standard NAPA steering wheel puller do the trick? Thanks in advance. Jack P.S. I love this sequence of instructions. You're darn right I'm gonna be outside the vehicle when I fire up the air bag again! 32. With the ignition switch in the ON position, connect the negative battery cable. 33. From outside the vehicle, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position for about 10 seconds and then turn it back to the ON position. > don't see a set screw, and I couldn't just twist it off.

Maybe a pair of pliers with soft jaws (or just wrap a rag around the lever) is needed. > Also, would a standard NAPA steering wheel puller do the trick? Yep - should be fine. Do you have a set of Torx screwdrivers? You'll need them for the screws that hold the steering column shroud halves together. Ok. I'll give the tilt lever a little more oomph. It's easier when you know how it should come off! And I should have the right torx tips... Thanks, as always, Tom. Jack > > don't see a set screw, and I couldn't just twist it off.
