Hi guys, I’m replacing clock spring on my 2014 LS460 and I can’t seem to find what this reconnects to.

in the photo it is the connector between my index and middle finger. I have made all connections but I do not see anything for this piece. Could it be an “extra”?

Look at post #45-47 and see if that helps. Good luck.

In post #47 it shows that it’s not connected to anything prior to disassemble..weird. Hope I don’t have airbags go off because of this

Hold on Man. Don't risk it. Wait a minute. Keep digging around. Did you take pictures before you started?
Did you watch the video?

Zetascry

No pics, I realized how dumb that was. I figured it would be disconnecting and re-connecting the wires
also I dug around for an hour and saw nothing

fwhomeboy

We've all forgot to take the before pics. OK, did you watch that video?

Zetascry

I’m newb and just learned why before and after pics matter..the video is not the same vehicle and thus only proving to be a general guide

fwhomeboy

Well, with the length that it is. it an only go to something close, if it was connected at all.

That’s what I figured but found nothing it would connect to..can I start up the car without the airbag connected?

fwhomeboy

I wouldn't but I'm just a scary cat. The car might jump like Speed Racers Mach-5.

All steering wheel controls are working I did check with the vehicle in the on position but did not fire up the engine

If you turn the key to ON it will trigger the SRS system and will require a code reader to reset.

fwhomeboy

Did you disconnect the battery?

Zetascry

Yes, I just disconnected battery after checking all steering wheel systems function properly. How long should I wait after disconnect battery to reinstall airbag?

fwhomeboy

Man, I don't know. Wait for someone else to chime in. I've never played with that system.
