Hello everyone, I have concern about my clock spring, i think it went bad because my horn not working, air bag lights on, and my big concern is that my center console heating unit is not working at all, . could this by tied with the clock spring. here a pic to show that the 10 heating unit buttons don't respond right under the lcd screen.

Really? What was the problem? I've taken my steering wheel apart at least 8 or 9 times and never had a problem

As Vroomin350 was asking, does the audio controls work on the steering wheel?

Sorry guys took me so long, didn't have it sent as instant notification when someone writes on the thread. But first off yes all the steering wheel controls DO WORK,., the controls are volume, up and down channels, and display,. they all work,. i checked all fuses with a tester and some people told me to change the one that i thought that controlled the middle console anyways even if they shows they good, bc could be still bad. I didn't check any relays, i just dont know how, and don't know if i even have to check relays. this is on a 2008 is350.. thanks a lot hope i could get this figured out

ok if your steering controls DO WORK then it is not your clockspring. Just saved yourself $300 plus installation... now to find the real problem....


Hoovey, when I was trying to remove the steering wheel to install the steering damper I pulled the steering wheel without unplugging the clockspring cables (airbag, steering controls, etc.) My dash was an instant christmas tree, airbag, tcs, vsc, you name it I had it.... $224 later and installing it myself I fixed it. Worst case scenario ever, $26 mod turned into $250.....

hmm okay, but the horn and airbag light is on, if its not the fuse than it gos back to the clock spring right? if i take apart my steering wheel to see the clock spring, how will i know if its good or bad?
