It all depends on what your time is worth. I'd argue you've already wasted more time jacking around with the dealers that for $130-$140 and an hour of your time you could have been on with your life over a week ago. I personally just don't waste my time with the dealers even if it can save me $100. It's just not worth the time and hassle to deal with those service departments IMO.

Clock spring installed, but the problem ended up not being with the clock spring. The horn on my jeep was bad, replaced it and that worked. Found some chewed up wires under my seat. That was the cause of my intermittent air bag light..... took care of them and the issue hasn't returned. Thanks all...........

I have a 2015. No warranty R title.. but I kept seeing that after installed you need to Recalibrate. If so HOW? And I've seen very many for sale with a huge amount with different last 2 letters of part number. Can it be different than the one you said.

There is a steering wheel dance you can do to calibrate, but you shouldn't need to. The new unit should come with that steering angle sensor locked in place by a little plastic piece you remove just prior to putting the steering wheel on. As far as the part numbers, any time a part has been updated the letters at the end will advance for the newest part. I believe they also get updated due to a change of supplier. Installing an older part that is a direct fit does not necessarily mean the part was defective, though it's likely older stock being pieced out.

Thank you I didn't want to break it by not calibrating it. Do you know a way I can add 2 or 3 inches to stock painted sahara fenders to pass inspection. I failed for mine sticking out.

Shawng -

Truthfully (and all joking aside) - find a buddy with a jeep and swap out his tires for a couple of hours - easiest way to pass that test.

This route may cost you lunch at the local pub - but is is certainly the cheapest way to circumnavigate installing stupid looking fender extensions.

My two cents ..
