Well that sounds like a couple different things...

BAS/ESP and traction control light started coming on after starting and moving the Jeep. Dealer put a scan on it. Turned out to be a brake switch sticking, which was confusing the computer.

In addition to esp/bas, others have had the airbag light or cruise control light on and/or horn going on/off and it turned out to be the clockspring. I've heard that it can be damaged when doing the cruise control install.

Unrelated to cruise control, the esp/bas can also come on when out of alignment I think.

 

Great write up. You made another JK'ers day with this install thread. I bought a used JK with a broken cruise control switch. I still had to remove everything. God bless the internets!

 

I was getting ready to order the cruse parts and I stumbled across two different part numbers for the cruise control switch.

Check out the pics.... The AA part number that is sold as part of the kit retails for $10 and the AB part number that is the direct replacement retails for $22. Does anyone know the difference between these two cruise control switches?

 

thanks so much for this write up. Everything was installed in under an hour and works great. I wouldn't even had attempted this if not for the step by step picture directions ( I'm not very mechanically inclined to say the least)

 

With Many Thanks for the original post!!!!

Bought the parts for USD 57.51. Paid USD 55.00 for shipping. And 30 Euro for VAT and clearance.

Taking the airbag off was a bit of wrestling, but it worked. From then on it was a piece of cake. Followed the instructions and used the pictures.

When completed only found that the horn is stuck when I push on the bottom part, it releases when I push the top. If I just push on the top there is no problem.

Oh, and I find my horn sounds really much louder now...... weird he!!!

Bye, bye!!!

 

I just did this install tonight and the OP's write-up was spot on..... thanks for a great write-up..... 20x better than the oem provided installation instructions....

 

thanks to the OP for the detailed instructions. I had a loose steering wheel and was able to pop the airbag off in seconds, tighten the nut and then replace the airbag and done! Thanks for details

 

Just order my kit from eBay for $99. Local dealer initially told me you couldn't even add cruise. I gave him the part number and they wanted $259. No thanks. Will install later this week. Thanks.

 

if only my privately owned dealer could see this thread.maybe he could figure out whymy cruise control wont work.they replaced the whole unit and still nothing.does anyone know what wire comes out of the steering wheel that i could test to see if im getting current or if you have had any problems like this before.i really want my cruise to work.

 

Just installed mine and cruise works fine. Horn however is an issue. No horn now. When I reconnected the negative battery cable the horn blasted non stop. I pulled the right and left fuses and then reconnected the battery. Jeep runs fine with no error lights on dash
so I don't think the clock spring is broken. Once I pulled the steering wheel I was extremely careful not to twist anything.

Any ideas guys.
