Re: Clock Spring????? SRS, No Horn, And No Cruise
sounds like snapped clock spring.."easy to do"
dont try to repair your old clock spring not worth the trouble and mostly cant be repaired at all
get a new clock spring and center it
to center it very VERY gently turn it clockwise till it stops then turn it anticlockwise
until it stops and counting the turns
if i remmber i got 5.5 turns on myn
Now divide the turns in half eg myn turn it back 2.75 turns now the spring is centered
Make sure your steering is pointed straight and put the steering wheel on..
Job done
Hope that helps
