Jaja I was about to say EXACTLY the same thing except mine is EB with 178K. I remember the thread and wished I had changed the clockspring myself.

First the 3-2 flashes, months later cruise quit,,,months later the horn quit and I needed an inspection. Wild guess on dearer charge was $70 for clockspring, $200 labor. Service writer said I "got lucky that one thing fixed all three" I did not feel lucky to be broke.

There is a thread here somewhere on how to change the clockspring and not worry about the airbag.

I remember some suggesting somewhere to clean the VSS connectors but I'm sure you are ahead of me.

i thought about cleaning the vss, but figure id rather install something new.

this xlt appears to have the tow package just with out the trailer wiring under the rear bumper. I have this wiring harness from my 88 bronco would it work or plug into the same place on the 94??
I also noticed the passenger seat doesnt slide forward very much compared to my 88 that slide and lifted up. i will probably swap the seat brackets as well.

Mine is exactly the same way. From what I have read the rear sway bar was an option in addition to the tow package, but i have it also. I bought a wiring harnes that snaps in at each taillight connector. You might just try yours, fuses are cheap.

My passenger seat will slide and flip almost to the dash.

Kem I don't have a clue. Haynes has a lot of electrical diagrams toward the back but I need a magnifying glass.

Just so you know I had a hell of a time getting the right dipstick tube for my Bronco. The dealear wanted to know what color dot was on my original iirc. Trouble was I didn't have it(whole nother story there). Maybe the parts guy was on crack, idk, but It took like three times before i got the right one.
