2nd Gen Clockspring Replacement How To

Did it a while ago. Solved my loss of cruise control. Was actually a breeze to do.

 

Damn! $9.00??
That seems too good to be true...but my wallet wants to believe its a good part. How long have you had it in?

 

I checked out Amazon but it doesn't look like you can choose year, or with/without steering wheel audio controls....Is this https://www.amazon.com/Delaman-Airb...37------------&vehicleName=2007+Toyota+Tacoma the one?
Mine is a 2007.

**EDIT** Looks like this one os only good to 2004. Its the only one I see on Amazon. Do you have a lnk?

 

About 30k miles, idk which partnumber you need.

I ordered a chinese copy on ebay that stated it was brand new OEM. Confronted them about it and they sent me a full refund and let me keep the fake clockspring. I gave it away to a member on here and bought a $230 OEM repacement from mcgeorge toyota parts

I didn’t want to trust something chinese to be the line between my airbag working or not working....

 

Just knocked this little project out this afternoon. Great write up, thanks!

 

Bought this one off of Amazon:
Orionm Motor Tech 84306-06140 84306-06110 84306-48030 84306-0E010 84306-0N010 84306-48020 84306-02210, Fits Toyota Camry Avalon Corolla RAV4 Tacoma Tundra, Lexus and Scion

Everything works. Did have to move the steering angle sensor over, but everything was easy and done in about 40 minutes including 20 minute wait time after disconnecting the battery.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I saved $250!

 

I replaced my clockspring without success. For anyone having an airbag issue on a 2nd Gen Tacoma, this is the solution that worked for me that I documented here.

 

I’m sorry to ask such a stupid question but I just wanted to be sure. After replacing the clock spring with the correct P/N, will I regain cruise control AND audio controls on the steering wheel?

 

Update on mine.

Replaced first one with oem before tsb. Toyota reimbursed me after tsb.

Replaced second one with one of two $18 clocksprings I bought.
Still going strong, backup still on shelf.

Do what works for you on your truck.
Just sayin...

 

I appreciate the help brotha

 

And great job op

 

OEM won't last any longer or be any more special than the cheap ones on ebay. The air bag technology isn't rocket science and doesn't require a $230 piece of ribbon wire in plastic to work correctly. The air bag system does a complete check every time you start-up your truck and if anything is wrong the dummy light will glow. No light, no problem. There's quite a few people who have reported failures in very short time with OEM from the dealer.

 

Maybe the Taiwanese made oem one will save my life over the Chinese copy since nothing from china is to be trusted anymore. My money, my choice.

Its been working fine, sooooo

 

Hate to break it to ya but as long as you're a member of TacomaWorld, your money is our money too and we will help you spend it anyway we choose or give you crap about it in the end.

 

Broke the clock spring when I replaced the steering rack on my gf's tacoma. Typical symptoms, horn didn't work, airbag light was on. Replaced it with an OEM clockspring for $230ish and all is working great now. The steering wheel nut torque spec is 37 ft-lbs but does anyone know what the torque spec for the airbag torx screws are? Having a little trouble finding the right torque spec for those and for right now they're tightened down "just enough" but I definitely want to go by the book on those.

 

Have changed 4 of the $9 ones between mine n my friend truck over a year timeframe and about to change mine once again, nowhere near $200 yet... lol

 

Why would you keep putting in something that clearly does not work? Pay once cry once.

 

Sounds like user error
