As above, had the dreaded chime and airbag light come on a couple of months ago...
A quick scan revealed yes, the clock spring issue. After an ebay search I went with the $120 cheap Chinese option instead of the $600 Amercian version. I did see on here somewhere that a cheapy did fail in a month or so, but I thought Id give one a go (cheapskate). Most units for vehicles this age cross over multiple Chrysler models.
Solved the chime every 20 seconds issue by removing the airbag fuse under the bonnet....
Finally got a spare few hours yesterday to do the install. After watching this
a couple of times I got down to it. I must say, I found removing the airbag with one of the wifes small lipstick mirrors much easier than he did... Thanks Darl..
The unit came out looking like a pile of spagetti - aka a stuffed clockspring... Swap over the stalks, all good.
Put the fuse back in, crank it over - Airbag light still on.
Panic Stations. Stay cool, check the fuse again, yep, dumb shmuck, didnt push it down enough.
Hooray, all good.
Total time taken was about an hour and a half. The only real issue was not noticing that a special head is required to remove the screws under the steering wheel - one of those pentagonal thingys you see in screwdriver head assortments.
Cheers Folks..
