How do you replace Air Bag fuse on a 1998 Dodge Caravan My air bag light stays on the entire time. I called the dealer and got the clockspring answer but my wipers and horn are working?

The "clockspring" takes the place of the old slip rings and spring loaded contacts used in older cars to transfer circuits from the steering wheel to the stationary column making the airbag, horn and speed control operational. To replace involves removing the airbag. Take it to the dealer.

Why is your Lincoln LS 2000 steering column not working?
If you mean the CONTROLS on the steering column (audio and cruise control buttons) are not working, there is a module buried deep within the steering column that allows the wiring from these controls (as well as the airbag) to maintain their connections to the vehicle circuitry even while the steering wheel is turning. It is called a "clockspring", and it's a bear to replace. Runs $350-500 at the dealer. This problem is very common to the LS.
Why would the 'air bag' light in your 1998 Dodge Caravan stay on all the time?
There is a "clockspring" in the steering column that is probably broken. When the clockspring breaks, the airbag light comes on. The "clockspring" takes the place of the old slip rings and spring loaded contacts used in older cars to transfer circuits from the steering wheel to the stationary column making the airbag, horn and speed control operational. To replace involves removing the airbag. Take it to the dealer. This was a recall but was not made public, i had the same problem and the dealer fixed it for free. The airbag light came on in my 1994 Caravan and I found the clockspring answer. But when the clockspring is bad, the horn won't work and my horn did work. I called the dealer's service dept and got the clockspring answer. I said it's not that because the horn works. I was told to bring it in for an $80 diagnostic test. Instead, I went back to the manuals and checked the fuse information. Fuse #13 showed the air bag and the rear wiper together. My rear wiper wasn't working, so I replaced fuse #13 and that fixed the problem! It could be several things. The fuse, clock spring, connection at the air bag harness, bad ground wire. If it is the air bag connection you are going to check make sure to disconnect the negative batter cable to avoid accidentally triggering the bag and causing serious injury to yourself. If you need to change the fuse (although not stated or totally necessary) for the air bag i would also disconnect the battery cable just to be safe. Hope all this info helps to find your problem. Good luck with it. You can also use a code reader to reset the code and see if it stays off.

Why does the airbag sensor keep coming on?
The airbag sensor comes on when there is no power to activate the airbag when needed. power to the airbag in the steering wheelis transmitted by a coil spring called the clockspring. when it breaks the sensor light stays on and the horn does not work. On some cars the cruse control fails to work. There is a recall on dodge caravans. Plymouth voyagers and other Chrysler products to replace the clockspring free of charge by any dealer or to reimberse the owner for parts and labor.Jake Sysk
