If a clock spring is broken in a Chrysler air bag system can it set off the air bag?
Drilldr
I have a 1997 Dodge carivan the air bag light came on and remained on. I took the steering wheel off and found the clockspring was broken all the way through, it stopped my horn, cruise control and the air bag light was on any time the ignition was turned on. If you do the work yourself make sure you disconnect the neg. side of battery and wait 2 min. before working on the air bag part..
No it will not set the air bag off, the airbag computer will not send a signal for deployment unless there is a crash. It is a serious safety issue though and you should get if fixed, the clock spring is fairly cheap ($40-50).

Check for a disconnected wire or a blown fuse. If both functions are located in the steering wheel the clock spring may have broken. If the steering wheel was allowed to spin while the rack was disconnected the clock spring is probably broken.
