Clock spring dilemma

Hi folks. I've been searching the forums here and have not found an answer. I've got a '14 Tacoma with a failing clockspring. Mostly the horn isn't working. I reached out to my local Toyota dealer and they took the VIN and crossed it to a PN 84306 0E010

Here lies the problem. The part number the dealer is giving me is a clockspring for a non cruise control equipped truck. Mine has cruise. I have looked on parts geek, ebay, Amazon and rockauto and they all list one for the non cruise equipped ones.

I went online to a couple of toyota parts sellers, and even then using the VIN of my truck I'm getting the incorrect one.

Does anybody have the correct part number so I can buy one off Amazon? All I'm finding are ones for the trucks equipped with audio controls on the wheel (which mine has) but without cruise control.

Thanks for the help in advance!

 

I have a 2011 v6, manual, 4x4, sr5. My horn would only work making left turns. Watched You tube videos. Got a clock spring from Rock Auto, part no. wve 8g1063, installed it last weekend, works perfectly, $200.

 

Any update?

 

I'm not able to find my order history to 100% confirm, but I believe that's the same PN that I put in my '06 Tacoma when I added steering wheel controls. I do have cruise control and it still functions.

 

According to several sources, it looks like a clockspring for a 2014 with convenience package (aka cruise, audio) is indeed PN 84306-0E010. What leads you to believe it's not? It does list the part number that was superseded, too. (84306-48030) as Toyota did have a TSB on this part. Your truck may still be eligible for it and the dealer should have told you. You can run your VIN at Toyota.com to see.



Couple more quick notes:
1). https://partsouq.com/ is great for getting parts diagrams by entering either your VIN or cab configuration and options.

2). If your truck isn't eligible for the TSB and you do have to replace it yourself, I highly encourage you to avoid the Amazon part and spend a little more on the Toyota part if you intend to keep your truck for any length of time. I had less than a year on an Amazon clockspring for our 2006 before it went out again and then ponied up for the Toyota part and it's still working great years and years later.

 

Cruise control is the only thing I never checked after installing it. If there was a recall on my truck and they never notified me. Then I should be able to get reimbursed for the price of the pot. I'll have to check on that.

I too have heard that the really cheap. EBay and Amazon once don't last long. I think I've seen a few as cheap as $30. I got the one I got from rock auto. Cause it was the most expensive one. Ha, what's still a $100 cheaper than the Toyota pot?

 

The clockspring is already wired for cruise control. Typically retrofitting cruise control on a base model requires adding just the control stalk and plugging it in.

 

I checked today, all functions work.

 

I did my own clockspring a couple of years ago. I went to the dealer and got an OEM part based on VIN which worked perfectly. It was very expensive, about $ 300, but I had prior issues with Ebay junk electric parts for the blower failing in weeks post install. So, I decided that it was simply worth the price to only do the job once.

 

Thank you for the feedback! So this is simply a case of my not fully doing my research and not understanding what I was looking at.

Here is the issue I found. When I took that part number the dealer gave me I looked up images of the clockspring assembly that are commonly being sold. I Removed the steering wheel, and the clockspring assembly off the truck. To my dismay the assembly that I removed had three plugs while the supplied replacement had two. This led to my further searching whereas I saw references to W/O cruise in the parts description. After reading your guys posts, I contacted the parts guy at my local dealer. I've had two Tacoma trucks now, and this parts guy is really really sharp, and is always spot on.

After speaking to him, and doing some more reading online I realized the issue was that I wasn't understanding the steering sensor that snaps into the back of the clockspring is a separate part altogether. I had assumed that it came with the new clockspring assembly. Well we all know about assumptions, right? Well I had assumed wrong. Simply put that is the correct part number, and you have to carefully have to swap out that steering sensor to your replacement clock spring.

Another note. Rather than paying the Toyota price I opted to gamble with a Amazon replacement for $30. I did the swap yesterday afternoon, after figuring out where I was stumbling. Put the truck back together, started it and proceeded to use it to move some stuff around the property. No warning lights, and the horn worked again. After about twenty minutes I tried the horn again, and it sounded. I turned the wheel while doing that, and guess what? It stopped working. So much for that gamble! As often you get what you pay for.

 

I tried to gamble with an eBay part and had warning lights for airbags immediately after. Ended up having to bite the bullet and fork out the $300 for the real deal. I was just glad it isn't harder to make the swap.

 

Base model here, chiming in. I added just the cruise control stalk to my base model clock spring. It worked for a few years, then the clock spring wore out causing an airbag light and the cruise to not work.

I bought whatever spiral cable Autozone had and everything worked again.
