Thank you ever so much for this. I just fixed the horn on my 2012 Tundra. Now its ready for inspection. And a tip for those unsure if it is the clockspring or wiring or fuses ..... press the PANIC button on your key fob. If the horn honks, then you need a clockspring. If it don't, then there are other electrical issues.
Very useful video, thanks 😊
So I just replaced mine also on a 2012 and now 2 days after replacement the air bag light is on. Horn works etc. could it be a faulty part???
@@saraoffringa1545same for me. How did you get rid of the airbag light?
My horn only works when the steering wheel is turned.
At 12:00 NOTHING.
Panic button doesn't work either
By far one of the best instructional videos. Super cost savings by doing it yourself. Never knew how much i needed a horn until mine stopped working. No more being cutoff by lousy driver's.
Excellent video!! Thanks so much for posting!! My Son-in-Law and I fixed his 2014 Tundra so that it will now pass inspection!
What is the bolt torque spec????
Awesome video!! Thank you so much for taking the time to enlighten us on simple DIY mechanics. I was a tank mechanic in the army and I do most of my own work, but I've never had a horn go out. This was a treasure to find. You rock.🤟🏽🤍🤟🏽
Thank you so much- great video! Helped me out step by step- no problems.
My airbag side mounting bolts were T30 for 2012 Tundra.
Horn works!
If your horn doesn’t work but it goes off when you press the panic button, you know it’s the clock spring.
Are u positive about the t 30 I’m going too try this install on a 2012 rock warrior
"Dad" thank you so much! I just finished replacing the clock spring in my 2011 Tundra. I'm not mechanically inclined, and it was very easy with your video. Showing me all the tools required to complete the job was really a BIG help.
John BEE thanks for the tip about the PANIC button on my key fob - it confirmed that my clock spring needed replacing.
Bob Brown, your tip saved face for me.
I found my clock spring on Parts Geek for $122. It took me a total of 1 hour. Beep! Beep!!
I am about to try this replacement and I also got mine form partsgeek for 122!!! Wish me luck….
Thank you Thank you Thank you! I accidently wound my security badge lanyard around my steering wheel by holding it in my hand while passing thru a vehicle gate and trashed my clock spring mechanism trying to free it. Was dreading having to have my Tundra in the shop for an entire day. Your video gave me the confidence to try it myself. Wow! Great video with clear instructions! I have no doubt that you saved me several hundred dollars and an entire day.
Glad it helped!
This worked exactly as explained on my 2011 Tundra SR5. Saved some money not buying wheel puller!
Thank you for this video!
I watched it while changing out the clock spring on my 2014 Tundra over the weekend. There was one tool you left out though, a steering wheel puller, couldn't get my steering wheel off without one but luckily NAPA had one on sale for only $20.00.
Excellent job putting this together. The only thing I did additionally was mark the wheel so I would put it on in the exact same orientation during reassembly. Thank you sir!
How did u mark the steering wheel ?
Thank you, so much for the video. We replaced the clock spring on our 2012 Toyota Tundra Platinum. We struggled removing the steering wheel, but easily resolved the issue by renting a tool from O’reily’s. The whole process took about an hour including renting the steering wheel puller. We researched the torque for the steering wheel bolt and found 37 lbs was recommended torque for our vehicle.
Thx a lot! Great instructions! 🤜💥🤛 I just finished mine, and it only took about 18 to 20 mins. 👍👍
Thank you very much ! This is the best video of changing the clock spring on Toyota tundra!
Great to hear!
Just completed this using your awesome step by step video. So simple. I’m a handy 53 yo female but still, easy peasy. I got my clock spring from partgeek for about 125 I think. Works great. Thank you!!!!!
Thats awesome. Glad it worked out.
This was my first time ever doing something like this and your video made it a straight-forward process. I'll need to redo the steps to make sure my steering wheel and tires are straight and tighten that nut back to align everything again. Thank you for making this video!
Thanks for the very helpfull video. Made it super easy to do and saved me a bundle. Less than $25 (Can) on Amazon and took 35 minutes start to finish. So a lot saved over what the Toyota dealer wanted!
Great job with the video and repair!!!, hope this will resolve my horn issue my fuses are good and I did a direct test to make sure the horns work the panic switch works so guess I’ll be making this purchase and tackle this job, again great job with instructions and great video quality Thanks
Thanks a million! I just replaced the clock spring on my 2012 4Runner LTD. No issues at all. It took me less time to get it done than to drive to a dealer thanks to your very clear step by step instructions.
Great video showed everything that needed to be done! One suggestion, when pulling the steering wheel by hand Leave the nut partially on the bolt so the wheel will not come off and hit you in the face. I just tapped on the back of the wheel and it came loose but did not fall off because the nut held it on.
That was a great video, thank you, and I'm glad that airbag didn't go off since you unhooked the positive on your battery rather than the negative 😅
Me too! Thankyou so much! I just changed my clockspring in my 2015 Tundra. Thanks to your vidéo I was totaly stress-free about starting this job. It took less than half an hour.
Thanks so much for the video. My cruise control hasn't worked in months and I was super frustrated. Replaced my clock spring and now it works.
Great to hear!
Fantastic video, so comprehensive from start to finish, highlighting the most important and difficult parts. Only change for my 2014 tundra was the side airbag bolts were T30. Thanks very much for the video! Also, RockAuto had a new Dorman with lifetime warranty for $195 way cheaper then local auto stores and the dealer wanted $318.
Thank you
Torque spec???
Great video. I used your video for guidance and replaced my clockspring (had no horn). This was my first time messing with an airbag or clockspring and because of your video, My truck and my safety inspection are good to go. Greatly appreciate it!! Thank you!
Glad it helped
Very informative and awesome video! This helped us replace the clock spring in my son’s truck. Thanks to this video we were in and out in no time! Thank you!
Thanks u from Chile, its took me like 50 minutes step by step. The clock spring was bought in ebay btw, 60usd made in japan.
thanks for the how-to ... just did my wife's 4Runner, but had to run to O'Reilly for a steering wheel puller. I was nervous about the airbag, so I wore my dirt bike helmet in there while I pulled the wire clips LOL. It was no big deal at all.
Nice
LOL!
Thanks for the help! Changed clock spring in 30 minutes and my horn works again. Figure that saved me $400 over dealer install! Part was $38 on Amazon.
Thank you so much. Followed step by step. Bought one off Ebay for $50. Saved myself $600 that the shop wanted..
Excellent!
Thanks for making this video. Got my horn working on 2011 tundra. Purchased clock spring on eBay for $45
Really well done! Followed step by step and it took about 45 minutes. Thank you!
Thank you
I bought the spring in ebay for $13.00 thanks for the install directions. No need to disconnect the battery.
Don’t mess with the airbag when the battery is connected…
Thanks for the step by step vid. A lot more concise compared to most others. Just an FYI for folks out there. It took some force to remove the steering wheel after the bolt is removed. I unlocked the steering wheel hight and extend adjustment and gave a quick pull towards me. It popped the front of the clock spring cover off but no damage to anything else. It is being replaced anyway. Just take precaution.
Thank you
You are a Rock Star!!! Video was perfect and spot on. Less than 45 minutes and I was up and running again thanks, Brother!
Thank you
Used this info to get to my combo switch (added fog lights). Thanks for sharing!
Glad it helped!
Extremely helpful. Bought the part from Rockauto and installed during my lunch. Thank you very much for making this video.
Glad it helped
I just replaced mine in my 2012 tundra and it was all because of you and this video! Thank you so much for sharing and for your simple instructions! I know I saved some money on this one! Although, the Oreilly price has gone up almost $100 since you bought it! Yay.
Glad it helped!
Thanks Dad! Just fixed my 2013 Tundra. I did find the clock spring on a website (ebay I think) for about $30. Hope it is high quality. Thanks again.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Just FYI, I'd purchased mine from eBay for $29 and it's Oem part.
Good tip!
Video was perfect I followed step by step it was great. Fixed a problem I had for a year
Thats awesome
Wait a minute. Didn't hear what the torque was on the steering nut or the torx bits.
Important note: Make sure the front wheels are Centered also, not just the steering wheel.
Thank you, your walkthrough made this job a breeze!
You're welcome!
Awesome presentation! Very thorough and explaining every step. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for making this video, I will be replacing mine in the near future.
Good luck!
Awesome video!! I did exactly what you did and how you did it and everything works! I bought mine on eBay for under $11.00 and it works fine.
I was about to get one from Rock Auto and saw your comment. I went to ebay, and sure enough, they're ridiculously cheap. Found one for $8.62!
Thank you
Thank you literally took me 20 minutes thanks to your video instruction.
Thank you. I never could find the exact torque specs.
@@dadshobbyshop no worries part cost me 350, shop wanted 850. I’m happy and my cruise control, horn and steering wheel controls finally work. Now I need a train horn.
Thank you for such clear instructions! Very appreciated!
Great video! Im so nervous about messing with the air bags. I may just add a train horn instead with an external switch
Unsolicited advice when starting to remove the airbag torx screws.
1. Torx keys won’t work. The screw is very tight on. When inserting the short end, it can’t reach the screw due to the plastic trim. When inserting the long end, the opposite end doesn’t allow enough torque/leverage to unscrew it. I turned until my hands bled/scratched and I still couldn’t get it off.
2. You need a T27 Torx socket to overcome the first note.
3. You need a socket extension. The T27 Torx socket won’t reach the Torx screw. The socket alone is too short, and the plastic trim prevents the ratchet from coming any closer.
Good luck
This video was awesome! I figured if you could do it one handed I could do it with two. Super video made it easy!! Thank you.
Glad it helped!
This production helped me fix my horn as well! Thanks!
Great to hear!
Great video took me about an hour. Didn't want to screw it up.😊
This video literally solved my problem! Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Thank you sir

Waiting for the pry to do mine 2013 tundra

Glad it helped!
Bolt torque spec? Thanks
Excellent explanation
What is the recommended torque ? Thanks for the video
Excellent video it helps a lot...step by step....thanks guy..
Thank you
Very helpful I am a Toyota tech but have only done one clockspring or two and it was like 10 years ago. I need to replace mine after breaking it on accident when I replaced my steering rack.
Very helpful thank again, great video.
same thing happened to me.
@@thenatedawg1994 yeah ended up being super easy to replace. And not to expensive. I ended up breaking it when i had the steering rack out a couple times on the second time.
Yeah just changed mine for 35 bucks, wasnt hard at all.@@Camo-Dan
Super!!!! U R the guy!!!! Great video!! Helpful!!
outstanding! Thanks
Muy buen video my tundra tiene el mismo problema
Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Well done sir! Saved me a fistful of cash. Hard to find torque info on the nuts but very good video and narration.
Thank you
15 minutes with 2 hands. Great video
Just did this. Rockauto 60$ one. Thanks!!!!!!!
2012 with cruise
Thank you sir for the video!
My pleasure!
Thanks Dad!
You are the man 👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks it saved me !
What year u got ? I’m doing this for dmv inspection
After replacing my clock sping in my 2012 tundra (thanks for your video), my turn signals no longer self-cancel. Any tips to what I missed which may have caused this new issue?
Is this also applicable for the 2004
What was the proper torque spec I have the same truck
My CC isn't working on my 08 tundra and I just replaced the CC switch. Still, the cruise won't turn on. I DO have horn so I don't think it's my clock spring. Gonna check tail/brake lights and brake switch tomorrow. If that's all good, I'll really be stumped!
"Remove the ground cable (the negative)" as he removes the positive (hot) terminal. Other than that, solid video. Thanks for the help.
Thanks!!!
You bet!
Does this work on a 2003 Tundra?
Hi what is the bolt torque specs?
Great video ty
The tundra I worked on had no horn and an airbag light on had to clear the airbag module to get light off after doing clock spring I have done a few gm truck clock springs and key tumbler sets .. your video was the best one I saw on UA-cam
Thank you
How do you test the actual horn switch in the wheel pad?
Not sure about that one. I know the airbag is built in. I have not taken that apart before.
Will this process be the same on the 2012 Toyota Tundra?
I believe so. I actually found this process watching someone do this on a Prius.
Not working for me can please tell me which pin from the relay harness I have to put power if see the horns pip and see if that the problem because has 3 harners and 1 small and I dont know how test the power from the integrated relay harness 😢
Sorry, Im not sure which pin has the power. I was able to just replace the entire clockspring.
Mine just stopped, not sure how long ago. 2021, 180k.
Thanks for sharing
So I have a 2012 tundra and the horn isn’t working except when the steering wheel is turned to the left. Once it’s straight or further to the right the horn does not work. I’m assuming the clock spring is the issue?
Could be. Mine would work occasionally.
It went out right before the inspection time and I had a mechanic diagnose it. Once he gave me an estimate to fix it I researched and realized how easy it was to replace
it’s just an expensive part
I too have the same issue and the auto motive place I take the truck to quoted me $490 to fix and it was $90 just take apart an look at. I decided to wait.
I bought a genuine Toyota clock spring for $38 after tax and shipping on eBay
Thank you . nice and easy only $16.00 on ebay
You're welcome!
So is it possible to install your steering wheel crooked on a gen 1 tundra?
Not really sure. I would suggest making sure your wheels are straight before removing
@@dadshobbyshophow do u double check that they are straight the wheeles
Are you freaking kidding me? My local mechanic shop wanted $750 to do this job! WTF. I can do this myself in 30 minutes.
What’s the torque specs
Does anyone know what the actual part number is for the clock spring?
Clock Spring - Toyota (84306-0E010)
I did exactly what you did.but now my truck is loosing power for some reason and turns off when I park it somewhere. Any idea why? Did I mess with anything else?
Hello
Not sure. I have not had any issues since I did mine. You might want to go back thru it and make sure the connections are good
Take it to an expert before it gets too expensive
I have 2015 etios same problem
Hi dear, I have the same model 2008 Tundra. The horn wears out, and every time I change a part, it wears out in a week or so. Are there reasons!! Is there a correct way to install? Can you help me bro, thank you
Are you replacing the clock spring and its keeps wearing out? For my Tundra I never have to replace anything more than once
$283? I think I’ll just keep using my yodelling
29$ oem replacement part on ebay
@@polytics123 Definitely not OEM but considering the OEM goes bad relatively often anyway a cheap chinese knockoff is probably the better choice money wise just exoect to replace it every yew years.
Another video shows a guy just greasing the bearings to complete the ground for this fix.
