Yeah, I'm going with clockspring on this one.

 

Airbag light and no horn is classic clock spring broken.

 

My horn works fine. That's why I was a bit confused - I thought that was pretty much a guaranteed symptom of a bad clockspring. Apparently it is not.. I think I can actually see the clockspring housing move around in my steering column so it's most likely a clockspring issue (I'm just not 100% positive that the plastic piece I see in there is part of the clocksping housing or something else). I didn't think you could actually "feel" the clockspring affect (I thought it was just electrical). I guess it can be both.

 

anything that looks like this?

 

I think so.. It looks like a flat-plastic circle with a little post (like the one at the top in the pic).. Lemme see if I can get a pic...

 

what year jeep? You know that they have an extended warranty on the clockspring for certain years?

 

Yeah, it should be covered under warranty.. It's a 2009 with about 30k miles. They restricted my powertrain warranty, but this should be covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Here's some (crappy) pics..

In the first pic, you can see the plastic standoff and the wires behind it. That plastic standoff (and the whole plastic piece there) doesn't move 1:1 with the wheel - it's loose...

Here is the other little plastic piece (the one at the top in your pic).

 

I can only see the top pic. But it looks like a lot of junk in there. I would take it in and have them fix it.

 

Ok, horn just went out last night.. 100% certain the clockspring is hosed.

 

Just picked it up from the dealer. They replaces the clockspring - everything is back to normal..
