Title: cruise, horn, computer not working, suspect clock spring?
Post by: richardshephard on January 21, 2020, 10:43:36 AM

Hi folks,

Just bought my 3rd jazz, a 2011 EX with all the gadgets. On the way home I noticed the cruise control, horn and trip computer buttons don't work. The audio remote does, and the cruise master switches on, but it won't set.

Since it's all those, I suspect the clock spring. The brake lights DO work, so if they share a fuse I assume it can't be that?

I'm waiting on a call back from the garage but any info I can glean first would help a lot in discussions. Thanks so much!

Sounds a likely diagnosis, you seem to have a good mixture of problems on different circuits.

It's the bit carrying the control wires to the steering wheel for the airbag and control buttons, horn etc. like a flat ribbon cable that looks like a clock spring and allows the wheel to turn more than one revolution...
