Like someone else said, this is one of the best and clearest explained how to videos I think I have ever wached. Took me no time at all to replace mine. Excellent job, Thanks!
This has to be the clearest and best explained repair video I have ever seen. I know a lot of guys are trying to shoot the video and explain at the same time so it doesn’t come out great but this was amazing. Thank you!!!
thanks for the video, well made and easy to follow for a quick refresher on how to talke the job. I like to see the installs before hand to not miss a fastner that could break something like a plastic panel
Laura, thanks for taking the time to edit and post this video, very helpful. You mentioned in your tool advice a 7/32 socket (some might want to use a 5.5 mm if they only have metric tools). Also, you mentioned a 7 mm socket to remove the lower bezel, (might have meant a 7/32 or the 5.5 mm). If you ever edit this, you could add the 8 mm you used to disconnect the battery cables. Final addition, on the back of the new clock spring are two small guide pins that index into the steering angle sensor. They are delicate so advise your many viewers to be careful not to break them. If after this repair, it is remotely possible that a scan tool might be needed to "re-calibrate" the steering angle sensor.
Very complicated electronics but not as bad as replacing a sensor matt that is integrated into the seat. Very easy to break when you insert too much pressure on the seat, like knee on it. Or put something on the seat that is very heavy. To replace it you need to dismantle the entire seat or just find another matching set of seats. Since it is a pressure sensor inside the seat it means also that once the micro connections get broken the airbag light will never go out from the dashboard. Air bags can actually kill if not handled properly so good call on safety working with the vehicle.
My steering wheel buttons are all mixed up, and i'm pretty sure it's the clock spring wearibg out on my 2016 F150. I noticed the recall was F250 and up, but I have to wonder if this is the same issue related to the recall ? I have no problem doing the labor, but I was hoping Ford would give me the upgraded replacement part.
Hi Brian! We haven't run into that issue before, but it might be a good idea to input your truck's VIN at www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and see if there is a related recall. Another possibility is that the buttons have been removed before and then replaced incorrectly. Hope this helps!
Today, Ford dealer just replaced my Clock Spring in my Ford F250 Super Duty. (7/19/23) Ford sent me a letter in the mail a safety recall. I bought this truck used 8/2022. Send in your vin number to Ford!
could this be the reason why my high beams are stuck on even when the truck is turned off. I just got the truck and the steering wheel is also misaligned which I plan on getting it aligned this upcoming week. I read that a steering wheel misaligned could be the reason for the stuck high beams.
Mine went out in my 2016 Expedition. Steering wheel controls quit working. Took to local Ford dealer. Charged me 135.00 for diagnosis. Then quoted me 683.64 for the part and 202.50 for labor. So i would have had a bill of 1021.14. I bought the part online for 156.51. Took less than 1/2 hr. to replace. I wonder if ill get back what they were going to charge me when these are included in the recall? FORD DEALERS WILL STEAL FROM YOU WHEN GIVEN A CHANCE!

Great video thank you!

The “make you die” comment 😂 great video thank you !
Appreciate that @TyFenwick, thanks for posting!
Good job young lady. Explained well
Thanks for the encouragement @hphillips7425. Appreciate your post!
Is there any programming that needs to be done after installing the clock spring?
No @hphillips7425, there is not.

Wow, that certainly sounds intense. Thanks for the input, Steve!

Thank you!
You are most welcome Rudy!
Thank you for the very informative video. So I guess we dont need an Ford IDS ro program it? I was expecting it would need to be programmed.
That's right @rdp2370, from our experience, there is no programming needed!
🎉 Beautiful

That's an interesting question. My gut says no. Please comment if you learn more about it for others benefit. Thanks for posting!
Buen vídeo, gracias!
You are most welcome!
I Can confirm this works for removing a 2010 Ford F-250 Clockspring/Airbag
Thanks for the feedback @mkolegacy9505
I thank u so much. I hate the air bag clips.

Appreciate you posting @johnpage6118. Glad you were able to save that much $$!
Took my f250 in for this recall and now my horn doesn't work 😕
Yikes! Was the dealership able to address it for you?
@hopfammedia took it back to the dealership and they fixed it in able 2 hours. They said the mechanic forgot a connector. 👍
This is different on the 2018
Thank you for letting us know!
