Ok, here goes.

I was able to get the nut off successfully. Once i took off everything i was left with the cable reel and my jdm steering wheel that i took apart.

So when i go to install the jdm wheel, it doesn't slide in properly.

According to the Hanes manual, the arrow on the cable reel must be pointing up; however, once you make the cable reel point up, the connector that has the srs and horn is set up at a 45 degree angle. This fit the usdm wheel fine however the back of the JDM wheel makes it so that the connector must be flat.


Above is the back of the jdm srs steering wheel. If you notice the square box, this is where the connector must go through.

If i were to install the steering wheel with the cable reel pointing up, my steering wheel would be at a 45 degree angle.

I could install the steering wheel and move the cable reel, but then the cable reel would be at a 45 degree angle. Would that be dangerous? Would that cause the SRS airbag to deploy?

So basically, i'm asking if anyone has had this problem if they've installed the steering wheel themselves. Would it be bad to have the cable reel facing 3:00? Or am i missing something?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Not sure how to fix this but i figured i'd bump the thread so maybe you could get an answer

 

umm iono but hub?

 

Nah, you can reuse the USDM cable reel, it has enough slack to compensate for the 45 degree angle.

But the only thing is your turn signals wont return properly.

Someone had a fix for this somewhere, said to break off the clips on the inside or something, never tried it personally.

Just get the JDM cable reel if you want it to work perfectly.

 

**** horns and srs, cut the plug off
