clock spring

Hi - I have a 2011 Toyota Tacoma with 195,000 miles. The horn is not working. It's not a fuse and it's not a relay. I know I need a new clock spring. I looked in the book and it says I need a Dormans Air Bag Clock Spring 525-401. Q: Do I need to buy that brand? How do I know which to buy?

 

Here is a good thread on replacement. Not sure about which one to buy. I think there's a couple of different ones depending on if you have buttons on your steering wheel or not.

Thank you for sharing this! It doesn't look too difficult. I just don't which one to buy.

 

I'm digging around trying to find an answer and I can't figure it out either. This is way too difficult. I think you want the 525-405 but I'm trying to find a definitive answer.

 

Thank you for your help! The one I found is about $88.00. I need to order it and install it....I need a new inspection sticker!

2005 DC LB I ordered the cheapest clock spring on ebay about 2 years ago. Installed it. No issues.

 

Thank you

 

Couldn’t you just call a dealership and get the appropriate part number for your VIN? You don’t have to buy it from them.

 

Why call? Just go on any Toyota dealer website and look it up. Frankly you'll probably find a very reasonable price there too. For some odd reason, I've found dealer websites to have parts a bit cheaper than if you walk into their parts department. Often wonder why...

 

I’ve never navigated a dealer website looking for a part, but I recommended calling because it might be easier to get a hold of the correct part number that way. Like I said you don’t have to buy from that dealer.

 

Same. Paid $12 a few years ago. Haven't had any issues.

 

Here's what I ordered off ebay. Worked perfectly. $26.00
