• 2008 Toyota Tacoma Cru...
This video was incredibly helpful! I had 100% confidence after watching this video. I changed the clock spring out and the cruise control works again! It only took an hour total and I’m sure I saved a ton of money. I feel like I owe you a beer or something.
Dude you rock! My horn wasn’t working and I followed your instructions and now it’s working again. Thanks 🙏🏾 a million! You saved me a lot of money 💰
Took me 30 mins to change the part, no more airbag light on saved me $500 thank you..... you da man great video
Once again, I have to say thank you. Your first video helped me change the cruise control switch. It worked one time, but then failed to never work again. I went and got a clock spring after watching the first video you made and watched this one to get it done. Very well taught and demonstrated once again. Thank you so much. I have fully functioning cruise control finally thanks to you!
Thumbs up. Went just as described. Almost as fast. Barely had to pause it. HUGE help. The trick with the steering wheel was golden! Mine was STUCK!
Replaced my clock spring this morning, took about 45 minutes tops. I didn't even have to refer back to this video as I had it all in my head from watching earlier. Now my cruise control switch turns on like it is supposed to do. I haven't tested it out on the highway yet. So all total I spent less than $60 to repair my cruise control. Thank You to The Practical Mechanic for this easy to understand video that made it super easy for me to do myself. Also thanks for including the size of the nut that holds the steering wheel on, I was able to find the one I needed before I took everything apart and discovered that I may not have the size socket and have to run buy one. Luckily I had the right socket and the wheel came off without much trouble. I almost always have to run to the store to buy something else to get the job done.
Thank you so much for this awesome video, been living without cruise control for a couple years now and when I called the shop they wanted $700 to fix it and I just did it myself in an hour for about $50 thanks to you!
Well done. I followed it step by step and now have my cruise control back!!!
This is the most information and detailed instructional video I have ever seen on UA-cam. I happen to have a 2006 Tacoma 4.0L 4WD with precisely the same problems. except the cruise control switch is also bad. I don't have one of those expensive code readers but I think I can do this without it. Thank you so much for the slow, meticulous explanation and tutorial. It was an excellent presentation!
What a fantastic video. I bought a new clockspring on ebay for my 2015 4runner for $20. Had it changed out in about 30 min. Mine original had a steering angle indicator snapped into it. I had to pop it out and reuse it. I'd like to buy this guy a case of beer. The dealer quoted me $950. This is not a difficult repair. Thank you!
Great easy to follow along with the video. No Unnecessary crap that we didn't need, just straight to the point and no repeating the same info over and over. Thank You for a well-done video.
Just replaced my clock spring watching this video step by step. My problem solved! Fantastic tutorial, one of the best I’ve ever viewed. Great job!!
I happen to have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4.0 L 4WD that has precisely the same problems. Now I don't have that fancy code reader but I can perform all the steps you illustrated in this video tutorial. This is the most informative, most helpful instruction I have ever witnessed on You Tube and I have watched a lot. I thought this rear was impossible for the simple home owner to perform. In fact, the dealer told me I couldn't do it. Well. with your help, I can prove them wrong. Thank you so very much for the slow, step by step procedural explanation. I'm not exactly sure about removing the upper and lower covers but all else seems straight forward.. Thanks again. You should be a Toyota mechanic instructor!.
Nicely done video and instruction!!! First, I replaced my cruise control, based on your instructions, then I replaced my clock spring, based on your instructions - and without your instructions, I would not have been able to do any of this!! I did use the knock-offs rather than spend the big bucks with Toyota, and I have working cruise control, and no telling how much I saved vs going to Toyota and having them do the work - likely hundreds of dollars. Thank you very, very much for this.
Awesome video. My cruise control was working intermittently (barely). Used your video to replace the clockspring, which I purchased online OEM for $30, and saved myself a $600 bill, which was quoted from the dealer. Had it finished and working beautifully in 40 minutes! Thank you!
Awesome step by step video sir!!!!! I was able to do the job myself and repair my inop cruise control after 2 failed attempts at replacing the switch itself. The clock spring fixed the issue and now my cruise control works. Thank you
Great and very helpful video! The detailed step-by-step instructions were just what I needed to see, in order to feel confident to do the second part of replacing the clock spring on my 2011 Prius. I'm a diy'er when I can, and between changing it out myself and managing to find an actual Toyota OEM for a good price, I saved a lot. I used a different video for the first part of the process (removing the airbag assembly from a Prius vs a Tacoma), but after that everything was the same. A few minor modifications possibly: I did use a steering wheel puller (rented for free from a parts store). Also, on the Prius there was also a third connector to the clock spring (white) that I needed to unconnect from the old clockspring, and then reconnect to the new one. Lastly, the instructions that came with the part said to put the pigtail through the steering wheel before pulling the orange plug that released the spring itself (I realize those instructions are so that the clockspring is released when all is in the right position, vs. 360degrees one direction or the other). Your specific instructions on how to release the different clips was especially useful - so I didn't need to blunder around and break a clip or something. Thank you so much! My car is now working again (the horn works.. it had stopped working which is why I needed to do the repair). There was another video I saw that talked about the importance of disconnecting the battery first - and letting it sit 15 min before doing the repair (so you may want to include that). Also, with the Prius, I didn't think about leaving the trunk open... and with the electricity disconnected when it was time to reconnect the battery I couldn't open the trunk (needed to crawl back there to reconnect). There was a bit of a spark on initial try to reconnect battery - I was concerned I might have shorted something - but all the electrical worked fine despite that. Again, thanks so much for video guidance!
Great video! Took me less than an hour. 50$ fix, now my horn finally works!
Thank you. Did it just like you said except for an attachment that went on the back of the clock spring that I had to take off from the old clock spring. Your instructions and modeling for me made it simple to do. 5 out of 5.
Hey Buddy I watched them all and this one is sooo superior!!! I was quoted $1000 dollars to fix my horn problem in my Forerunner. After this video I got this. You Rule!!!
