Check EngineLight and Steering Wheel Controls

Asked by Richard Jan 07, 2009 at 11:50 AM about the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Okay the jeep which is awesome and which i got gratis from my brother in law "jimmy the bookie", as in it would be an insult if
you don't accept this gift type thing.Anyways the controls on the steering wheel went. No horn, volume ctrl,cruise ctrl, etc.
Then just recently"jimmy" head to use the truck (don't ask) the check engine light went on. I checked the net and some
people( yahoo answers) were saying the steering wheel spindle. I checked the fuses they are fine. Anyone know anything
about this?

It's called a clockspring. Sits Behind the steering wheel and has a coil winding that all those things pass through (hence the name clockspring) when it breaks everything on the wheel dies.

I took my 2000 Grand Cherokee in for alignment check. They installed a new right front CV axle shaft, new front and rear gas shocks and did alignment. It still pulled and the steering was off- lots of play in steering, resistance when trying to steer, just felt out of sink with the vehicle. Took it back . They replaced the right front upper outer tie rod end, realigned and installed new rear axle seals. It is still pulling and steering is worse. Lots of resistance, vehicle doesn't respond to steering wheel like it used to. Spent a ton of money and vehicle is worse than when I first took it in. Any advice? Thank you! Jonell 1 Answer

Alignment, steering problems after multiple repairs.
