I know this is an Buick forum, but I know that a lot of you own and abuse XJ Cherokee's so I thought this would be a good forum for this question. Recently my "airbag" light has come on. It is not usually driven very far except for my wife. She informed me at around this same time the cruise control stopped working. I began to suspect a fuse. During this inspection I discovered the horn to also be inoperative, but the fuse to be good. In fact, all the fuses are good. I pulled the airbag off and dicovered the yellow wire attached to the gas inflater thing was disconnected, so I reconnected it. During reassembly I honked the horn and it worked. The "Airbag" light was still on, but I attributed that to a code that needed to be cleared, so I decided to take it for a drive to see if the cruise worked. On the highway, nothing worked, not the horn, not the cruise and the Airbag light is still on. After re-disassembly, everything under the airbag is still connected. So at this point, everything connected to the steering wheel is inoperative. The stuff on the "neck" still works (I.E. the wipers and signals) My question is:
What am I looking for here? A bad ground? A loose wire? When I take this thing apart, what am I looking for? I'm lost and there is no Jeep dealers within 1300 miles of where I live. It's a right-hand drive, but I don't think that will make much of a difference.
