Dear All,
first off all, please excuse my english – I wrote you from Germany.
I have a Dodge RAM 1500 5.7L HEMI 4x4 Sport from 2007
VIN 1D7HU18297J596996
Since a few weeks the BAS and ESP lamp is shining.
I received the Feedback that it is a problem with clock spring / steering angle sensor.
We checked the parameter with an OBD II Tool.
If we turn steering wheel to the left side everything works well. The sensor counts 1°,2°,3°, and so on.
But if we turn to the right the sensor jumps directly from 0° to 110°.
We tried to calibrate the sensor but without any success – therefore we think that the sensor is broken.
I striped down the steering wheel to spend a look for the original part number – 05082062AG.
I checked all possibilities I know to get a new one. On OEM Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge & Ram Parts Online | Factory Chrysler Parts I found the remark that this part is replaced by Part Number: 68292840AA. But this part number is also nowhere available.
On www.moparpartsgiant.com/ I found the remark that 68292840AA is “discontinued”.
Is this one also replaced by a new one?
Is there any chance to get a new sensor?
Actually I have no Idea how to fix this problem.
Many thanks for your support and best regards from Germany
