Open circuit to the driver's steering wheel bag. Bad clock spring.

I just got off the phone with Jeep Services 1-877-426-5337 and they stated there is a recall for all jeeps from 2007-2012 BUT only for right hand drive models. So I asked the tech to persue it a bit more because of all the known issues with the Merca' models and it seems weird because it's basically all the same parts used in both hand drives. So all in all after holding for 5 minutes she did an override and set me up with a case number, told me to bring it to the dealership to get them to run there scanner and dignosis the issue, call them back with my case number and they will review my issue if they will pay for the repair.
Overall it was an easy call. -
Good to hear it! I guess I'll have to let my brother know to call them and do the same. -
There must be something about Chrysler clocksprings. I've replaced more of them, than any other make. My ZJ chewed through them, to the point I replaced the column. Still went through them, just not as fast.

The Only one I have ever broken was from having the steering disconnected and turning the wheel like this fella >>

Update:
So I spent the $119 today at the dealership and they confirmed it is a bad clockspring. The want $540 parts and labor to replace it but since I'm dealing with Jeep Services to see if they'll pay for the repair I called them and my claim has been updated and escalated to see if I can get "payment assistance" and I should wait 1-2 days for a call back. I picked up my jeep and am waiting for my call back but in the meantime will look for the clockspring so I can make the repair myself if Jeep Services doesn't come through. BTW, the dealer charges $295 for just the part. So far I think I've found it for $$188 off Amazon. -

Are they refunding the diagnostic too?
No, but at this point it's still cheaper to pay $100 more to have them fix it.
