1996 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

FAILURE STARTED AS AN INTERMITENT ILLUMINATION OF THE AIR BAG LIGHT. LATER NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK. APRIL 10, 2002 HORN WOULD NOT SOUND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SIGNAL ANOTHER CAR BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. AVOIDED THE CAR AND AN DAMAGE. NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY. NEITHER THE HORN OR CRUISE CONTROL WORK AND I ASSUME THE AIR BAG IS INOPERATIVE. THE VAN IS GOING IN FOR THE FUEL RAIL RECALL ON APRIL 29 AND I WILL ASK ABOUT THE CLOCKSPRING AT THAT TIME.
