- Step-by-step guide on how to replace / remove airbag clockspring on Dodge Grand Caravan minivan. This is a bit bigger project, but once you know what you are doing it can be done in less than half hour. ( 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | SE | CVP | AMP | SXT | LIMITED | CREW | VALUE PACKAGE | EXPRESS ).
Most common symptoms of failed airbag clockspring are:
horn not working
airbag light on
steering wheel controls not working
traction control light on
cruise control not working
cracking noise in steering wheel when turning
To replace the clock spring on Dodge G. Caravan first you will have to remove the steering wheel airbag. It is held by two 10mm screws. Once removed, you will gain access to 13mm screw that holds the steering wheel. remove the steering wheel and all the trim plastic pieces on top of the airbag clock spring. Disconnect 4 connectors from the clock spring and remove three torx T20 screws. Remove the air bag clock spring and move the signal light switch onto the new clock spring. Make sure not to overturn the new clock spring. That's it.

Thank you. Additional note: if you are having issues with your wheel buttons only (like, your horn works, no airbag light), it may be the last connector buddy pulled off, that is the white one just above the centre bolt. My cruise and step/reset buttons were getting very sporadic and I really didn't want to replace an expensive clockspring unless i had to, so before going whole hog I sprayed them with a wire-dry compound. Voila. I don't know about using brake or carb cleaner because they sometimes dissolve unexpected things. These connectors are tiny. Maybe alcohol or WD 40 but I had a can of the proper stuff left over from my snowmobiling days and that I can recommend. Took less than an hour (including the 15 minute game of find-the'-10mm). Good luck.
No problem and thanks for sharing your knowledge
Very helpful thank you. 2013 caravan.
You're welcome!
Thank You I hope I don't have to do this, but if I do I will hire someone...looks easy, but need someone with elbow grease.
You're welcome and good luck :)
Thanks
You're welcome
Will it be the same for a 2014 dodge avenger !? Steering will looks the same on the avenger
Hi, I've never done it on the Dodge Avenger. Probably it will not be exactly the same, but very similar
Any idea on how to reset the air bag light ?
You would need higher end obd2 scanner to access the module and reset it. If problem is not fixed it will come right back on most likely. You can try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting and see if that does it as well
good job im doing my this week
Thanks and good luck
What is the size number of needed torx screw driver please
Hi it should be T20
Any idea why steering wheel won’t come off after removing the bolt? I’ve even tried a steering wheel puller with J hooks. Doesn’t budge.
Sorry can't help you, sometimes they are really like cemented. It should go with the good puller
@@QuiteAlright thanks for the quick reply. Couldn’t get it off with the puller kit. But yanked the heck out of it side to side and finally got it loose. Had to stop with the 3rd Torx screw under the steering wheel - couldn’t get it off in the dark. But almost there - will finish in the morning. Your video helps a lot. Couldn’t do it without it. 👍
I'm glad you pulled that steering wheel off. That was the hard part.Good luck with the rest
My horn works , but my cruise doesn’t, my step and reset buttons have to be pressed kind of hard. I think I may try a cruise control switch first. I also have a tire monitor sensor that won’t go away, has anyone ever heard of that stopping cruise control from working?
Hi failed tpms sensor will not cause cruise not to work as it only monitors PSI in the tire. Failed wheel speed sensor will cause cruise to malfunction. You can test your old switch using multimeter before replacing, but from experience I've seen these switches failing multiple times
My horn and cruise stopped working. Is the clock spring the likely culprit?
I can't say for sure without looking at the vehicle, but most likely yes.
@@QuiteAlright thanks for replying. You have my sub! Love more on Dodge Grand caravan. Best cars ever! Full sheets of rock or ply, or pickup the whole gang!
@@rondamylove9995 No problem and thanks for the sub
Any idea if another screw is holding on the steering wheel for ‘14 Chrysler Town/Country (basically same as Dodge)? Locked on tight. Rented a steering wheel puller and still can’t get it off. Removed main bolt but seems very connected still.
@@Dogs888-8 There shouldn't be any additional bolts. Sorry to hear you are having hard time with this
Is procedure same for town and country 2013 ?
I've never done it on the town and country, but it should be the same / similar
Will there need to be any reprogramming?
No. Just make sure to do this while battery is disconnected and make sure not to turn the new clock spring
I have never ever been able to tap and wiggle off a steering wheel in my 63 years.
is there an angle sensor in this 2011 grand caravan
It should be a part of the airbag clock spring on this minivans
Thanks
