I ordered the clockspring on ebay it was $30 buy it now,
brand new. This was after the airbag light being on solid for about a
week. Then one day it began to come and go intermittently. Then it
went off and stayed off about a week.. The clockspring I ordered
arrived and I set it aside to see whether the light would come back on.
Well, today it did and it was on solid for a 100 miles of driving. I
got home and disconnected the battery for about 5 minutes and
reconnected. Light stayed on. So I pulled the steering wheel and
changed the clockspring and the light has gone off and stayed off so
far. I will post back in a few weeks if it stays OFF so others may find
this helpful for future reference.
your alarm system has been tripped when the battery went dead, to get the information on how to reset the alarm is to call the car manufacture to get the procedure, and should not cost you anything.
have your alternator output checked. its a good idea that they check it while the light is ON. If they check it while the light is OFF, it may not show any problem.
Did anyone check the charging system while the car is running? Measure the voltage at the battery, it should be around 13.5VDC. If it is below 13V, your alternator is not working. Replace it with a good aftermarket model from Autozone or Advanced.
It is cheaper and more reliable to replace the alternator than to rebuild the one in the car.
You can do a couple of things. Check the wiring harness to the coil and check for a bad connection or corrosion. You can unplut the coil and switch it to another cylinder and see if you can move the miss. If it moves, replace coil.
