Was youe hoen affected by this repair, especially post clock spring but before module repair. I'm trying to get my horn to blow, im not sure I want need airbag, am getting air bag light blinks, where exactly is module located and does anyone have pics? thanks for info, I know there are other posts, but most only stop at the clock spring. thanks again.

 

Chillinjc,

If you're having problems with your horn and airbag, you more than likely have a bad clock spring. Do you have cruise control and is it working? Cruise control also goes through the clock spring.

Ok man, The thermal fuse is make by NTE ELECTRONICS INC.
Number of part: NTE8167.
The label said: Thermal cut-off (TCO).
Operating Temperature +169° C Max
+ 336° F Max
Operating Current -15A Max

Here in my country it is sales by STERN CO.

I hope this information help to fix your problem.

 

Thanks everyone, especially Ron and Mario. I coulnd't get my hands on NTE8167, so I went for the NTE8149 which is rated at 144 degrees C. I figure the worst that could happen is for this fuse to blow early, better safe than sorry. I got that at Radio Shack for $1.49. Soldered the thing in last night and it seems to work great so far. The airbag light went on for 5 seconds and then disappeared for good.

Thanks again guys, you are a great group of people.

Regards

 

Does anyone know the details on the resistor that rests below the thermal fuse? Mine was burned beyond recognition.

Thanks,

 

I used these, and they work good, very easy to change it.
