Does the clockspring have anything to do with Wipers, Turn signals and high beams
Asked by Nervousmess Jun 17, 2017 at 01:52 PM about the 2007 Chrysler 300
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Wipers, horn , turn signals and high beams all went out at once. Does this have
anything to do with the clockspring or the multifunction switch? I also hear
clicking noise in steering wheel when I turn.

My guess is you have damaged wires in the steering column.

Thanks! This problem started after purchasing a new battery. I am scheduled to go to the dealership on Monday but am not sure what to tell them to do. Im a female and don't want to be taken advantage of and having unnecessary repairs done to make the bill high. Should I have them put t The car on a diagnostic machine?

A broken clock spring will cause the air bag light to come on. All of the other electrical functions except the horn, are controlled by the multi function switch. You may have a combination of problems. If the steering wheel feels loose on the column The clockspring bushing may have broken causing you all of these problems.

Thank you. This is very helpful. I have been researching these problems for the last week. Whats the best way to find out if this is the problem without it costing an arm and leg

If the battery was replaced with the key in the ignition. A voltage spike could have blown a few fuses. You can check the fuses pretty easily yourself at home.

Fuses all look good. I tried switching around relays that didn't help. I've read somewhere that disconnecting the battery (negative only) and leaving it off for 30 minutes could fix the problem. Would you agree? Or could it cause more damage/problems?
What wrong if if the windshield wipers don't work and the turn signal lights don't work and the the light that shows the little car sliding I know what that is but what's wrong if all that shows together
Can you please let us know what it was, if you got it repaired. Thank you.
I have a 2009 Chrysler 300 I replace the starter and that it caused the electrical Arc I guess to go back to its the battery burnt the negative cable but got that fixed and I had to push it backwards to the parking spot and I turn the wheel which I think broke the clock spring but I got another one as for a 2005 now the whole thing won't fit in there for my 05 to an 09 but I change out the blinker and doesn't 09 have a sensor module cuz I had so many backyard mechanic do it and there's just a gray piece there and I switched out the directional arm piece I couldn't switch out the clock spring because the teeth on it are different I didn't want to mess it up could anybody give me a clue on on to what I would have to replace because I've already checked the fuses the relays all that it's something to do I believe with the steering column
