1999 Ford Econoline Sign In

My wife got into a car accident with my 1999 Ford Econoline wheelchair van with a 5.4 engine and the air bags deployed. I fixed the van myself (very costly) and replaced the airbags and airbag computer from the junkyard. I can't get the airbags to reset and the whole steering column has no power. There is no horn or Cruise Control anymore. What else do I need to replace ?? The airbag in the steering column looked burnt after the accident.

It sounds like you have a bad clockspring in the steering column but I seriously doubt that used module is going to work. They are programmed to the VIN.

Can the clock spring be reset or do I need to buy a new one ?

No, new module and new clockspring, assuming you have verified the diagnosis on the clockspring.

The Module will also have to be programmed.
