Clock spring assembly
#3
UPDATE: All sorted
Few pointers:
If you ever accidentally or intentionally disassemble the clock spring unit when removing your steering wheel, just make sure you don't damage the wires when putting back together.
- you just carefully roll the cable around the center black piece you can see in my hand in the fist post. Then gently align and press it back in.
- our center spring unit is 5 - TURN unit. Turn without force all the way to the right, then turn back just 2.5 turns to get a center. The unit actually has a clear little window, and one of those orange circular rings will line up for you.
- After I put everything back together, my traction control was flipping out, I am guessing there must be some kind of steering angle sensor. When I turn the full traction control completely off, car drives totally fine.
- I tried the old fashioned calibration, turn the steering wheel all the way to each end at least twice. Turn off the car, start again.
Happy to report that THE TRACTION issue is GONE.

I don't envy you that task. What a PITA.

Ain't that the truth. I just had my wheel off multiple times last week, this would've made me bonkers. Good work!
