Which clockspring for 97 XJ?

My airbag light is always on and cruise control stopped working. I'm pretty sure this means the clockspring is dead.

So it seems there are different clocksprings for different years. Can anyone show me where to find a part number for a 97 with cruise control?

Also- not sure if they're related, but it seems that my windshield washers don't work and my turn signal doesn't automatically return. Are these both clock-spring related, or should I replace something else while I have the steering wheel off?
 
Any 1997-2001 clock spring will interchange. There are two types, one for cruise control and one for without cruise control.

Jeep P/N 56009071 is the cruise control clock spring.
