Took my TJ in for an alignment yesterday and along with it they recentered my steering wheel as it had been a decent bit off center. On the way home the airbag light starts coming on and off, and now it just comes on and stays on (which is kind of better I suppose, as I don't need to keep hearing the ding). Called them when I got home and they said they wouldn't expect it to be the clockspring since the recentering was only around 1-2 inches (which is suspicious in the first place since isn't the spring supposed to line up in a way with the wheel? And it doesn't take into account that just taking the wheel off in the first place potentially damages it).
Nevertheless, they had me bring it back today to see if they could read a code, and they told me the code they were getting was that the squib "thinks it had already blown", I think they didn't have an actual code reader that could read any more on that code. But because it's that, they say it must have been a coincidence that it happened immediately after I got it back and never before (yeah right). It seems like a bad clockspring could cause these kinds of errors too. Anyway, I'm not going to be getting anywhere with them and will try calling some higher level customer service to see if I can get some kind of refund at least on the alignment, but I want to try to get this fixed nonetheless.
I plan on taking a look at it tomorrow to see if a connector is loose or something, but assuming I need to get a new one (if it sounds like I do)... where can I find one for an 03? Dorman doesn't seem to have one for this year, and I found this one here, but since I don't have cruise control will it still work? And is that an okay price for it?
