Great video, thanks a lot! I was able to replace my clockspring successfully based on your guide, one lesson I learned is I should have turned the key cylinder to the ON position BEFORE I took off the steering wheel, because my key was at the off position and was stuck there after the steering wheel was off. I had to put the steering wheel back and wiggle it to get the key cylinder unstuck. Also the brown "key in warning switch " image at 18:11 helped me to install the new one since I did not take a picture of the old one.
i also have a 94 f150… my airbag light is flashing but the horn still works… will this fix my flash light situation? it all of a sudden has a 5 chime going off aswell.
From what I’ve heard, the flashing airbag light is a code. Take note of how many times it flashes (example: flashes 3 times then 2 times) and Google the code to find out the problem.
My horn started honking out of the blue and wont stop. Had to remove the battery. The truck was in storage and not being driven. Would the clock spring have anything to do with it?
If you have the same code but the horns still work is this still the fix ? I did purchase a clock spring anyways but mostly just want to know for exspectation management haha
@@LowTechGarage thank you for your response. The reason that I ask is because I changed mine and the horn works now, but the cruise still doesn’t work. So I thought maybe either there’s something else wrong with the cruise or they make two different clock springs one for a truck with cruise and one for a truck without. But thanks anyway.
My recently acquired eddie Bauer 96 f150 does not have those bolt holes in the steering wheel. And my clock sprig was 140$ + tax and shipping was 165$.
So for mine, I had to re pin the big black plug, and I forgot to take a picture of the aftermarket plug wire configuration. Is there anyway you could post a picture of the back of that plug?
I would check the part number on the old unit, have a look online and make sure you do not require a different model. If that’s not the case I would see if you have any recess’ for screws. It sounds like you may needs a different version for some reason.
I know I need a new clock spring but my abs light came on around the same time. If I replace the clock spring is there a chance the abs light will turn off?
We are getting the belair buttoned up and then will be getting properly stuck in on the XJR. All the parts have arrived so we are ready to go. We think the car has the incorrect head bolts installed from work done prior to our ownership

Pretty goodguide, but it's obvious that you've never been in the dash before. You do NOT have to loosen or remove the upper dash to remove the lower piece. Remove the two Torx bolts and pull it off. You can also remove the rear screw on the lower steering cover once the lower dash is removed. There is no reason to remove the key tumbler.
I'm needing to replace the clockspring on my 1994 Ford F-150 Lightning. This is a great, detailed video. Thank you!
We are glad you found this useful. We love the OBS lightning!
Great video. Top shroud around steering wheel doesn't have to come off btw. All of the wires are on the bottom but still very informational.
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the video. Helped me get my clock spring changed.
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
Very thorough! Definitely making my life easier! Thanks!
@@alpinerobross good luck!
Excellent guide! I used this throughout my entire repair 🤙
We are glad it was useful for you!

Fantastic guide, great job explaining everything. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Had to do this for my 1994 Bronco. Big help, thank you!
I’m glad it helped you!

It definitely sounds like a potential clock spring issue.
Not sure if you have an airbag, but my airbag light was on too when it failed.
@LowTechGarage I didn't check for that, but I will look into it.
@@xxZerosumxx Did you end up figuring out if it was the clock spring? I have been having the same issues. Randomly honking and airbag light and alarm
@@WhirlingRogue81 My airbag light isn't turned on. I ordered the clocksping anyway. Hope it's the issue.
If you have the same code but the horns still work is this still the fix ? I did purchase a clock spring anyways but mostly just want to know for exspectation management haha
Are there two different clock Springs one for a truck that has cruise control and one for a truck that does not have cruise control?
Hey there. They only difference is one with air bag or no air bag.
Rock auto should give you an idea of what is available for your truck.
@@LowTechGarage thank you for your response. The reason that I ask is because I changed mine and the horn works now, but the cruise still doesn’t work.

Does the clock spring affect steering at all
Not steering, the steering column bearing can though. They sell kits to replace that. It makes the steering notchy and stiff when it fails
Same with econoline 01' ? so this is usually the problem with horn not working?
Knowing ford, yes.
Lots of these parts are the same for decades
What size are the bolts to pull the steering wheel?
If I recall I just used a puller from the auto store rental program that came with bolts.
So for mine, I had to re pin the big black plug, and I forgot to take a picture of the aftermarket plug wire configuration. Is there anyway you could post a picture of the back of that plug?
The truck is back together now, unfortunately.
My clock spring don't have the screws holding it in, just little plastics prongs, the new one don't have the plastic prongs, how do I replace it?
I would check the part number on the old unit, have a look online and make sure you do not require a different model.
If that’s not the case I would see if you have any recess’ for screws. It sounds like you may needs a different version for some reason.
Very very helpful. Thank you sir!
You’re welcome! Glad it helped!
I know I need a new clock spring but my abs light came on around the same time. If I replace the clock spring is there a chance the abs light will turn off?
It may not resolve your ABS light issue.
Any update on the XJR? When is the job on the head going to happen?
We are getting the belair buttoned up and then will be getting properly stuck in on the XJR. All the parts have arrived so we are ready to go.
We think the car has the incorrect head bolts installed from work done prior to our ownership
@@LowTechGarage thanks for the reply. Looking forward to seeing updates.
What clockspring did you use? I have a 1995 f150 and I’m trying to figure out which one to purchase

My headlights sometimes start flashing for no reason. Is this related to the clockspring? I hope so because I have a clockspring waiting to install.
You may have a bad headlight switch. They are pretty simple to replace. It involves replacing the turn signal stalk assembly.
Pretty goodguide, but it's obvious that you've never been in the dash before. You do NOT have to loosen or remove the upper dash to remove the lower piece. Remove the two Torx bolts and pull it off. You can also remove the rear screw on the lower steering cover once the lower dash is removed. There is no reason to remove the key tumbler.
Thanks for the feedback
Where did you find a clock spring for that price?!?
Available on Amazon
@@LowTechGarage sorry for the trouble but do you have the link for this specific one, I can’t find it at all.
Yeah now cruise control will work too.
Rock on 🤘🏼
replace
yes
