Rice Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi All. Been a while since I posted on here, but here goes... My steering wheel controls have been working intermittently lately and finally they stopped working all together. The horn is out too, but airbag light is not on. I have read something about clock spring, but nothing that would help me fix the issue. If someone knows how to fix this w/o going to the dealer and leaving my kid's college fund there I'd greatly appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuddleJumper Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Certainly sounds like clockspring. You can take to dealer for diagnosis.(they only charged me $30 at toyota dealer. Ordered part online and put in myself. Only took 45 min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landar Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The clockspring is considered by several manufacturers, if not the NHTSB, to be a critical safety issue. I know Chrysler had a problem with clocksprings on their minivans and would replace it free of charge regardless of the mileage. I would take it to the dealer and do a fair amount of "b_tch_n"(can I buy a vowel, Vanna?) to see if they might replace it low-cost or free as a safety issue.
