Great video, but to anyone watching this, please make sure to disconnect the battery prior to doing anything! You dont want to screw around with airbags or risk frying something by keeping your battery connected!
After almost a year of no cruise control I didn’t realize there was a quick and effective fix. With this video, 26 bucks and an hour on my hands I have both cruise control and a working horn. Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial!
Awesome little vid. I bought a clock spring off eBay for 19.95 and followed this guide. Toyota wanted 725 (I'm Canadian) for the part plus shop labor. Haha. This took twenty minutes and now my CC works again and airbag light is back off. Perfect! Thank you!
Hey Bud, I watched the vid, ordered a spring off Amazon for $35 and installed it (dealer in Oregon in 2023 wanted $431, Napa asked $331, I paid $35+ tax!!!). It took me 43 minutes including finding and putting away my tools as well as rewatching portions of this video. Everything works afterwards! Very happy content consumer! Cheers 🍻
This video was a HUGE help. THANKS 737 mechanic - U-D-Man!!!!! Based on the price of the part ($250), etc, I bet it woulda been $1k repair bill. My Tacoma is a 2013 and other than the steering wheel radio(etc) controls looking different the procedure was the same. After that, it is a bit easier to replace the bottom steering column bezzle BEFORE installing the steering wheel. The downside of this is you can't test all your steering wheel functions without the steering wheel assembled. So: 1) Disassemble steering wheel and remove clock spring. 2) install new clock spring. 3) plug in ALL the plugs on the bottom of the steering wheel. 4) reinstall the steering column bottom bezel by snapping in place and then install the 2 phillips screws. 5) reinstall the steering wheel 6) etc. Another tip is that not only did I mark the end of the steering column shaft, but I then removed the 19MM steering wheel nut and then made a corresponding chisel mark on the steering wheel hub surface below the nut. The idea being that I was able to align the 2 marks so as to be POSITIVE that the wheel was reinstalled in it's exact original position. Like 737Mecanic said, even one spline off is just a little bit off but not acceptable. Also if you disconnect your battery - highly recommended to prevent accidental air bag deployment - your computer may get mixed up and the vehicle won't run (idle) right. I had this problem, again UA-cam to the rescue, but I did have to fiddle around with it for about 1/2 hr to get it to work right.
Thanks for this very detailed video. Videos like this have saved me tones of money by enabling me to do jobs at home rather than paying a machanic. Thanks again!
Thank you for a well explained and detailed tutorial. I get so nervous tackling some of these finicky jobs. But you made it quite doable. 😊 2012 TRD Sport, 318,000 km.
Thank you so much for posting this! There was one from 7 years ago just above yours and man did it sub compared to yours. In fact, it was dangerous because it didn't mention the battery disconnection necessity and a whole lot of other things. And your camera technique was also super. Thank you so much I'm going to try it myself.
Very informative video with clear simple methodical steps, this deserves a double thumbs up unfortunately that option is not available...I enjoy it particularly because I'm having the same issue with my high milage 2006..good stuff
I just did this to my 05, sadly my old clock spring did not have the angle sensor so I am going to have to re do this when the angle sensor arrives 😕. It's not hard though!
This video is great. I think I'm going to try and tackle this on my own.... Well, after I ask if my brother in law has all of the right tools. Can you verify what sizes I need for the airbag screws and the steering wheel nut? Love a Toyota chick. ❤️
Hey man, you did an excellent job with this video. If you want money, let me know and I’ll send you some (up to 1 pints worth of sleazy bar beer). Keep up the great work jabroni!
No problems installing, got my horn, and cruise control back, airbag light went out, but now my slip indicator light is staying on. Got code U0126 which is "Lost Communication with Steering Angle Sensor Module." It wasn't on before I put the new clock spring in.
Yeah, this on me. I didn't have the angle sensor module connector pushed in all the way. All good now. :) Thanks for this video! Saved me a lot of money! :)
Will a bad clock spring make the horn not work? Fuse under the hood is good everytime I check it the horn will work afterwards but when I’m driving the horn won’t work.
I noticed the clock spring from Amazon was good for 2005-2009 Toyota Tacoma. Mine is a 2011 as yours is. I'll Verify the pins but so far yours has worked fine??
Yes mine is still going strong with no problems. 2005-2013 take the same clock spring so I am not sure why Amazon shows the years from 2005 to 2009. There are however two different ones depending on if you have steering wheel radio controls and or cruise control.
Did you replace it with OEM clock spring or some people that sell some on EBAY that aren’t from Toyota should be the same thing ? Or buy the expensive OEM from dealer
I bought this one from amazon and it is still working fine. amzn.to/3adgyT2 Make sure this one fits your vehicle, this one is for vehicles with steering wheel controls. And this one is for vehicles without steering wheel controls. amzn.to/3G037BN
Hey, follow-up question: can you tag me with a reliable place to purchase the Cable Clock Spring for a steering wheel with radio control on steering wheel. Thanks again.

BEST and Most Informative Video I've seen on this. I used it to replace my clock spring on my 2013 4Runner

Were did you buy your clock spring ?? I see them on Amazon !! Not sure if they would be any good
I need the wiring diagrams that you used for the troubleshooting
Email me and I will send them to you.

You might not have it seated just right.

Looks like I'll be replacing my Clock Spring once its warm enough outside not to freeze instantly.
Did you replace it with OEM clock spring or some people that sell some on EBAY that aren’t from Toyota should be the same thing ? Or buy the expensive OEM from dealer
I bought this one from amazon and it is still working fine. amzn.to/3adgyT2
Make sure this one fits your vehicle, this one is for vehicles with steering wheel controls.
