okay so it started snowing here and i put tire chains on.. and it does vibrate the wheel like crazy at start could it be the hard vibration that knocked something out of place? or is it a relay? help me fix this its annoyin that it doesnt click off by itself no more.. thanks in advanced.

 

help please.

 

what exactly do you mean by click off? does the signal stay on constant? or does it blink but not turn off when turning the wheel? <<this could be a problem with your cable reel, take off your steering wheel and you might or might not see what i mean

 

The problem does not lie with the clock spring (SRS cable reel). The problem lies with the combonation switch. There's a bow-tie shaped piece of plastic that the steering wheel/steering boss needs to align with (see the notch in back of steering wheel). This plastic bow-tie is set on a spring. The steering wheel presses down on the spring and makes it turn. When pressed down, it pushes two tabs into position that will "trip" the switch when it comes back past it.


It's the white part.

It check if it's gone bad, remove your steering wheel and combonation switch. If you cannot easily turn the plastic piece, or cannot trip it manually (yes, you can mimic the trip mechanism with your bare hands by clicking the blinker down, pressing down the bow-tie, turning it, and, then turning it back), then you need a new combo switch.

 

is this hard to do?

 

Eran you're the man!!!!

Nope, takes all of 10 minutes.

 

Not to steal the thread...... but do you happen to know how you might fix the windshield wiper/squirter stick. When I go to squirt the windows, its sticks, and I have to push it back to the normal position to get it to stop. It clicks when I do this.

Does it actually "click" or does it feel like you "dislocated" it. I've never heard mine click.... You could always do what I do:

If something's broken, take it apart and find out why

 

Yeah I was going to take it apart, but its raining here, I dont have a garage, and its supposed to be in the low 40s for highs this coming week. So I was just hoping that someone had a fix for it.

It gets stuck, and is hard to push back. When I engage the squirters, it clicks. Hopefully that explains it a little better.

 

What car?

I have an EK that did it the first winter, I was told that the compounds that Honda uses for that specific application tends to stick when it gets cold. Sure enough, when it got warm out again, it started working.

Personal experience. *shrugs*

 

sounds like the wiper motor is burnt out..

You're a moron.

OP's problem is with his turn signal.

The other guy's problem is with the combo switch sticking.

 

wow sorry mr big bad honda tech member! i misread his post.. moron. damn go get laid im sure your boyfriend misses you.

how do you misread a post? anywho, you're just being defensive now. that guys us nowhere but your juvenile follow up comment about Eran being a homosexual. First of all, it may be your homophobic insecurity, second of all, I am sure Eran's sexuality is of no concern to this technical forum.

moving on...

But yeah, the part goes bad a lot. you see depreciation increase if you have something like a Momo hub and steeringwheel on it because the rockers are replaced by the hard potted steel of the momo hubs (at least it seemed like potted steel). the part is simple to replace, you just have to have a socket large enough to remove the steering wheel.

 

Damn... three things:

1) You have issues.
2) I have a girlfriend.
3) Even if I were gay, that would have no barring on my technical knowledge or my attitude. In fact, I'd probably a whole lot less of an ******* if I were a gay guy. Most of them I know are way nicer than me.

OP - If you have a stock steering wheel, you're going to need these tools:

19mm Socket - remove wheel from column
2 extensions (or one really long one) - reach the 19mm bolt
T-30 Torx Bit - remove airbag
Phillips Head - remove clock spring and combo switch
LokTite (or any thread locker) - put on 19mm bolt when replacing wheel

If you have an aftermarket wheel, replace that Torx bit with a 3mm hex key

 

Just buy the whole new bow-tie mech, it'll fix all ur probs

EDIT:
DOnt' buy one new...mercedes wanted like 300 bux for one for my 300E...and that's one switch...get it from a junk yard or something
