Hi all, I just did this repair today so here are some tips from a newbie that managed to do it: 1. IMPORTANT: Remove the negative clamp/cable from your car battery and wait 5 minutes before starting to work on your car 2. Make sure your steering wheel is centered before starting work 3. When removing the side bolts to release the airbag, when they become loose push the plastic into the bolt. There are little plastic clips that grab the bolt and that way they won't fall. 4. Carefully pull out the airbag and remove the plug as shown in the video 5. IMPORTANT: Removing the steering wheel is usually done with a puller tool, mine didn't come out as easily as in the video, so unscrew the lug nut of the steering wheel slightly and hit your wheel side to side and start shaking it until it becomes loose. Then remove the lug nut, draw a straight black line (Make sure the steering wheel is centered!) and only then remove the steering wheel. 6. Remove the bolts holding the plastic covers 7. When you've removed all plugs, it's time to remove the spiral cable. The spiral cable holds on three parts, two on each side below and one in the center at the top. Unclip the sides first (maybe use a flat screwdriver) and then unclip the top to remove the spiral cable. 8. Put the new spiral cable the same way - sides first, then clip onto the top 9. IMPORTANT: Check your spiral cable connectors!!! Mine was different! You can dissassemble the airbag plug connector and change it with the one from your broken spiral cable, I did that and it was completely fine. If you need to do that search "DIY: AIRBAG connector replacement EASY!" on YT. It shows you how to tear apart the connector. 10. Assemble as shown on the video That's it! I hope this helps and Thank you so much to the creator of this video, I managed to do this all by myself and I have 0 experience in car repairs!
Hopefully end of vehicle was just before airbag setting off, need that battery disconnected and sometimes specialty tool to remove the bag and discharge circuit.. but to gloss over that.. hope no injuries..
had clicking in steering wheel read about lubbing half shaft marked with black marker down by where shaft passes thru firewall and where steering column connects to shaft.. un bolted shaft and let slide downward did not tie down steering wheel and therefore it spun 360 multiple times once finished with shaft reconnected noted that airbag light came in and horn stopped working I assume the multiple 360 spins of steering wheel broke the wiring connections?? part cost? did this fix yours? what caused yours to stop break ?
hi my friend nice video but i have a problem can u help me please. i bought the spiral but my connections is 2 pin yellow and 1 pin black. i bought 4 pin yellow spiral how i can fix that changing pinsfor make it work please help
i have my airbag light on and my 96 toyota camry le wont shift gears .i tried a new air bag sensor no luck ,i did take out the spiral cable like you but have not put new one in its 500 at autozone .but salvage yard it 28 dollars .just woundering if there is a safety thing that prevents my from shifting gears because airbag light is on
Hardly dude. The sensor that tells the airbag to deploy is NOT on the airbag itself dummy. That would mean drumming on the steering wheel to your favorite band may set it off. The sensor is in the front of the vehicle just behind the bumper. However, always a good idea to disconnect the negative battery terminal when doing any electrical part repairs.
I need help fast my problem started with the horn not working only when u turn the steering wheel then few days later my panel lit up my AC went off my power steering out even my power windows out my turn signals but my car runs tho.... Does this have to do with my spiral cable !
I did, and the recall is on the Takada sensor , not the spiral cable that activates the airbag light The reading was open circuit , replace spiral cable Not recall 600$
@@Johnnyy832 yeah it was easy to do the part was 30$ and a steering wheel puller 15$ Running good after a year and a bit smoother too The other one was dusty
The spiral cable control the cruise control but make sure that this the cause of the problem. For me firstly I had a problem with my horn and after that the airbag light turned on, so I was sure that was a spiral cable problem.
@@MrTheNasreddine I just paid $681 at my local toyota to have this done. I punched my steering wheel really hard a few months ago, ever since then the horn would sometimes not work and work when you pressed it in certain areas. fast forward a few months the horn would start beeping on it's own, then i noticed the airbag light come on, and then the steering wheel get really stiff, and i could hear noises from the steering wheel as if the airbag was crinkling around like it wanted to pop out. That's when Is aid it was time to take it to mechanic. I was fearful the airbag would pop out on me while driving.
Very sorry for you bro.. Mine broke, but I soldered it and saved many bucks. Imagine I spent only 1$(in Tanzania) to buy solder wire for it to get fixed.
It’s costing me $580 and I’ve already paid out thousands to do repairs on my Yaris 2009. Part is $420 and labor is $160🥺. I now decide between repairing my horn or paying rent on time. 😡

Oh man. Lug nut wrench for removing steering wheel nut. That’s kinda genius 😎

had clicking in steering wheel
read about lubbing half shaft
marked with black marker down by where shaft passes thru firewall and where steering column connects to shaft..
un bolted shaft and let slide downward
did not tie down steering wheel and therefore it spun 360 multiple times
once finished with shaft reconnected
noted that airbag light came in and horn stopped working
I assume the multiple 360 spins of steering wheel broke the wiring connections??
part cost?
did this fix yours?
what caused yours to stop break ?
no i never touch my half shaft.
the problem was spiral cable itself.
it cost me 26$ in ebay.
after replacing it all works good
hi my friend nice video but i have a problem can u help me please. i bought the spiral but my connections is 2 pin yellow and 1 pin black. i bought 4 pin yellow spiral how i can fix that changing pinsfor make it work please help

Nah, Russian roulette is fun
Yes
Question. My car horn not working (Toyota Yaris 2009) dealer says I need spiral cable. Does that sound right? Isn’t it for airbags issues?

@@johnmcminn9455 dealership said $700 for my Toyota corolla lmao. I said hell no. Now I’m learning how to control my anger behind the wheel lol.
@@Johnnyy832 yeah it was easy to do the part was 30$ and a steering wheel puller 15$

The other one was dusty
thank you sir
my horn stopped working and my airbag light came on my 2004 camry it has 196000 miles is this due to this ribbon going bad ?
yes i had the same problem, and after changing it, all solved
Ok thank u

why do some spiral cables cost more than others?
because there are cars model equiped with more options than others (like radio commande)
Muchas gracias muy bueno
will this keep the cruise control from working

Is this what they call the clockspring!?
Yes.
hi
why do we need to replace this?
if you have a problem with your cars horn or if the airbag light is on
The battery needs to be connected to get the steering wheel
I don't think so
porque el claxon a veces funciona y a veces no
Douglas Edgardo Molina Garcia es porque está fallando esta pieza que se llama “cable espiral” lo reemplazas y se acaba el problema
Just paid $681 to have this replaced at my local toyota dealership
Very sorry for you bro.. Mine broke, but I soldered it and saved many bucks. Imagine I spent only 1$(in Tanzania) to buy solder wire for it to get fixed.
