Horn Assembly Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 1

Airbag clockspring has been recalled previously on this vehicle and was replaced , but same issue has occured again, with air bag warning light on and no horn or steering wheel controls. Vehicle is only a 2016 and should not have this reoccuring issue.

Vehicle components begin malfunctioning, wipers turn on, wiper washer pump floods windshield, lights flash, headlights randomly turn off while vehicle is in motion, horn sounds, cannot turn vehicle off. Turn key to off position and vehicle continues to run creating an extremely dangerous situation. Wipers and washers blind driver randomly. Online research all points to known issue with totally integrated power module that has well documented failure rate. This is a horribly dangerous situation that deserves investigation and remediation.

The horn blows on its on, the wipers and washers come on by there self, lights come on by there self, and the only way to turn them off is disconnect the battery. It happens moving or stationary.

2008 Jeep Wrangler has had several issues with tipm. Wipers will come on, horn will sound, washer fluid sprays, and transmission will not shift (when the vehicle is in motion and this happens) intermittently and will sometimes create a no crank/no start condition after the malfunction happens while the vehicle is in motion and has been shut off. Defect has been traced back to tipm and tipm was replaced with an aftermarket remanufactured tipm. Problem resolved and now has reappeared with additional symptoms, such as when vehicle is put in reverse wipers will go off and engine will rev to higher rpms than necessary to allow for acceleration. The tipm defect creates a significant safety hazard when it interferes with the shifting, acceleration of vehicle. Most recent issue was 11/09/2020; issue has been ongoing since 06/2019.

Clockspring going out , controls on steering wheel and horn not working plus no part available under the part # 05156106ac. Now traction control light is on and won't clear.

Horn sounds only after a very forceful/purposeful push on the steering wheel horn pad and then only after a momentary delay (I suppose after "relays" are activated). Additionally, there is no option for a light, friendly "beep" (for instance to say "hello" to a neighbor or awaken another driver sitting at a light after it's turned green).

Tl the contact's wife owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving the vehicle at various speeds, the horn sounded independently without driver input. Additionally, the interior and exterior lighting flickered on and off. The contact also stated that the engine would turn on independently without warning. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed him that the vehicle had a defective totally integrated power module (tipm). The mechanic then informed the contact of NHTSA campaign number: 07v291000 (electrical system) which was linked to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that that VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 185,000.

The wiring going to the steering column keeps shorting out making it so the horn, steering wheel electrical buttons and likely airbag stop working. The dealer says it is the clock spring. It has been going on since purchased with 12000 miles and replaced twice. At 22000 miles the dealer cannot keep it functional. I'm concerned that the lack of functional safety equipment could lead to injury or death. This also leads to loss of value if the manufacturer cannot provide a solution.

I was driving down a state highway at 40 mph. When my horn started blowing, windshield wiper turned on, lights flashing so I had to turn onto a side road. Motor was still running so I turn it off. The engine stopped but everything else remained on. Horn was still blowing, wipers on. . . I disconnected the horn wires to stop the horn. I started to move some wires thinking that there may be a short somewhere. Finally everything stopped but now my car wouldn't start. I had to get it towed. Through some research I found it to be the tipm ( total integrated power module. It has been fine since I had it replaced. Fortunately this all took place during the day in good weather. Had it happened at night or in the winter snow or in some remote area it would have caused a great deal of pain or a dangerous situation. From what I have researched myself this is not a isolated incident. Please review this information. Thank you.

Clock spring is apparently damaged and not allowing the horn, airbag deployment or radio controls on the steering wheel to function properly.

2016 Jeep Wrangler 4x4 experiencing electrical issues. The wipers stay on at all times, wiper switch does not work. Lights stay on at all times, switch does not work. Horn does not work. Blinkers do no work. High/low beam also inoperable. Dash lights extremely low, can barely see them and we are 35 yr old owners with good 20/25 vision. For lack of better words or mechanical terms, having a vehicle with this specific issue is like driving something possessed. Tipm on this vehicles are known to be faulty and fca has agreed to recall certain vehicles with similar issues. The vehicle was stationary when issued came to light.

With vehicle either not running or running. Random events where horn blasts continuously, wipers turn on, washer fluid sprays. Opening door has caused horn to sound, with engine off.

Vehicle dies while driving all electrical lights on dash are lite up. Vehicle will not start. After 10 minutes vehicle starts, wipers go at full speed and deploy all washer fluid. Horns sounds while backing up. Another time are windows will not roll down and after a few minutes they start working again. After disconnecting battery problem go aways.

First my horn stopped working then the buttons on the steering wheel quit working then the radio started getting all static but at first when radio started being static the cd player still worked and then the cd player would play intermittenly and not a sound in radio mode now now cd , no radio, no steering wheel button and no horn. The cruise control light comes on if the button is pressed but that is it. It is important to have a working horn safety!!! I was told it is the clockspring going out and causing all these issues and causeing the amplifier to fail and the stereo malfunction and needing to be replaced. Costing a couple thousand dollars.

Clockspring failed causing horn to not operate, abs and traction control to not operate. Other issues that are non safety related to this is cruise control, radio controls (steering wheel) and the dash data (the menu to scroll through from the dash for dte, us/metric etc). All these are effected while vehicle is both in motion and stationary.

While driving approaching a stop light in town the wipers came on, windshield fluid started spraying, horn was blaring and engine stalled. The 2nd time I was on a highway going 55 mph and the same exact thing happened I coasted in a subdivision started the engine back up and this time when I got home I could remove key and the engine would continue to run. I think the problem is the tipm because while the �christine effect� is going on I can tap the tipm cover and it stops.

Clock spring is bad and caused failure of all electrical components on the steering wheel and horn no longer works. Clock spring fuse is good. The horn does not work at the steering wheel at all. Horn works when depressing the panic button. Almost been involved in an accident with my child in the car due to no audible alarm.

Tipm problems from the research I've done. Car goes haywire! horn goes on randomly and stays on even when driving! wipers go on and off randomly even when I try to use the wiper switch to control it, nothing happens. Wiper fluid goes on and off randomly even when not controlled by switch. Doors lock and unlock randomly while driving even when not using the remote. Alarm goes off while driving with the horn. All dashboard lights randomly flash on and off while driving. All these weird events usually occur at the same time or randomly by themselves. Mostly happens when driving or when trying to initially unlock and enter the vehicle for use.

My steering wheel controls are no longer working. This includes the horn, channel and volume control. They will work when the steering wheel is turned 45deg from top dead center. My research shows that this issue is caused by the "clock" spring assembly behind the air bag. Jeep currently has a recall out for rhd Wranglers and their clock spring assembly. I believe there are also issues with the lhd (left hand drive) models as well. I am taking this to the dealer in the morning. Note the problem occurs when the vehicle is in motion or not.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the contact attempted to activate the horn however, there was a delay in response. The vehicle was taken to twin city Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram fiat located at 650 sagamore pkwy s, lafayette, in 47905, and the contact was informed that the vehicle performed as designed. The vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.

The horn just stops working, it basically works whenever it wants too. This is the 3rd horn I have had installed.

After turning off the vehicle and parking in a garage for 10 minutes the tipm started smoking, wipers and lights went on and horn started blowing and caught fire. This occured approximately 5 pm.

Clock spring malfunction: horn and steering wheel electronics inoperable.

All warning lights on instrument cluster turned on and there was a constant chime. Fuel gage dropped to empty, I didn't know how much gas I had. The speedometer and tachometer no longer worked, I had no idea how fast/slow I was going. Windshield wipers stayed on constantly, in the off position, eventually destroying my blades. Headlights stayed on constantly in the off position and blinkers would not function at all. Horn would randomly go off and doors would lock & unlock. Ac blew hot. It kind of felt like my power steering went out. I could smell strong fumes from the exhaust. I first replaced the tipm and some of the problems were fixed, but not all. I then replaced the instrument cluster and all previous unresolved issues, were resolved. When the problems first started happening, it only happened occasionally. It happened at random times, driving on highways or streets or sitting at a red light. After a few months it was constant and would start as soon as vehicle was started.

Clock spring malfunction- the buttons on the steering wheel have all gone out, the horn no longer works, and the airbag light is on. This happened suddenly when I went to turn my car on after it had been parked and turned off for the night.

While in motion driving down the highway and on a city street car suddenly dies, no power steering, lights flashing, horn blaring, windshield wipers and fluid are activated and doors lock and unlock. Mechanic informs me it is tipm issue with 2007-2011 Jeeps/chryslers/dodges. I investigated online and Jeep forums etc. Support this and yet Jeep refuses to accept accountability- as someone who has nearly wrecked on multiple occasions, I implore you address this or someone is going to die, because Jeep continues to ignore this problem!!! this also happens in the middle of the night when the car is parked stationary and isn't even on- I have woken in a panic several times by what I think is my car alarm going off, to find the horn blaring, blower motor, flashers, interior lights, and the wipers going on and off. Also, while driving at night, the lights suddenly go out. Once again I urge you to investigate this dangerous problem, because this will cause a serious accident, or worse if these issues are not resolved! *these incidents have happened on multiple occasions, but the most recent was today, so that is the date used to answer "when did this happen".

All the electronics in my steering wheel went out, the horn stopped working, and my airbag no longer works. Some of my warning lights on the dash even stopped working. The fm/am radio also no longer works. I took it to the dealership and they said my clock springs went out. I am very worried about my airbag not deploying in a crash. None of these work, whether the car is moving or stationary.

Driving down the freeway all dash lights flash on including traction light and abs and feels like my brakes are pumping even when I did not touch the brakes with dinging sound radio shuts off, horn does not work or the buttons on the steering wheel to work the radio. Very dangerous esp when driving down the freeway.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Jeep Wrangler limited. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the head lights would turn off independently without warning. The contact has to continuously flicker the head light switch in order to have visibility when the failure happened. The contact also stated his turn signals would not operate when he attempted to active them and that the windshield wipers also operate independent upon start. The contact had to repeatedly turn the windshield wipers on and off for the wipers to cease operation. The contact called scott robinson Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram 20900 hawthorne blvd, torrance, CA 90503 (424) 299-8800 where he was informed that the part to repair his vehicle would cost $1300. 00. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 6,500. Jo.

Clockspring recall: other year models of the same generation Wrangler show a clockspring recall, but my year model doesn�t. My clockspring has failed now and I lost most of the steering wheel controls, including my safety horn, and if my research is correct, my driver side air bag will not deploy now if in a collision accident. When turning my windshield wipers would turn on randomly, and then when driving shortly afterwards I went to honk at animals in the road and the horn did not work. The next day I noticed that the radio and driver information center controls on the steering wheel did not work either.

Early may 2019 my Jeep's steering wheel controls started malfunctioning and now completely not working. The horn stopped working, radio and hands free controls on the steering wheel. I can not use my dash screen at all and it's just showing �- - �. I could not use my horn on may10th and was cut off and as a result was in an accident. The front end was significantly damaged and the airbags didn't deploy and I busted my face on the steering wheel and hit head on windshield. Diagnostic scan said there was 0 codes prior to accident and that triggered me to do research on the clock spring recall but my VIN is not under it???.

Controls on the steering wheel started to go, including horn, air bag light, hands free controls. Mechanic and research done indicates it's the clock spring. This is a left hand drive vehicle. I know there is a recall on the right hand drive vehicles from this year.

The vehicle's horn and steering controls, except cruise control, all stopped working. I was told the clock spring is bad and Jeep did have a recall on the clock spring for 2007-2010 model year Jeeps as well as some 2011-2016 right hand drive Jeeps. If you also look through Jeep forums, this still seems to be a consistent problem. The horn is a necessary safety feature and shouldn't be failing when the vehicle was purchased brand new a little over 3 years ago.

Clock spring in steering column has failed. Air bag warning light is on, horn does not work, cruise control does not work, traction control light is on. I drive in very dusty conditions while delivering us mail, records show a recall was issued for this Jeep and this problem. Records also indicate that the recall work was completed. But I have the exact same problem that the recall was supposed to fix? what can I do?.

I was driving down my residential street and my Jeep's windshield wipers started going off, my horn starting honking and my seat belt light came on. I continued to drive and 3 seconds later it did the same thing but this time it died and smoke started coming through my vents inside. I immediately put it in park and got out to get my son out of the back seat but my door shut behind me and all of the rest were locked. I immediately called 911 because I was watching the car fill with smoke with my 10 month old trapped inside. I was not able to unlock any of the doors until I got to the back hatch, where my key opened it up. I got my son out and about 60 seconds later, it started smoking worse and it turned to black smoke. About 30 seconds after that my car caught on fire. It all seemed to start under the hood on the passenger side of the car.
