Anyone know why these 2 would suddenly stop working?
No previous problems, or work done in those areas. Thanks for any ideas in advance! |

You need a T27 Torx head for the screws on the side of the steering wheel. I agree with azian_advanced's theory. Disconnect the cruise switch right there and you won't have any more cruise control or horn. If that's not it, then it's likely the clock spring and you've already got the steering wheel apart to find out anyway.
I very highly recommend disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery and depressing the brake pedal before taking the steering wheel apart. Not that the airbag is likely to blow, but I just don't like taking chances. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

But yea, I always remove power before I do anything to the car, even if it has nothing to do with it. Just always seemed like a good idea. Gunna pull it apart tomorrow and find out whats going...just odd, havn't taken that steering wheel off in almost a year, we'll find out soon. Thanks for the idea guys, appreciate it. Edit: Yeaa, I just used a flathead last time to take'em off...didn't strip or anything. This post has been edited by rave2n: Oct 14, 2010 - 6:16 PM |
