I just fixed my new girlfriends F150 steering wheel switch using this video. She thinks I'm a genius. I think tonight's going to be the night fellas!! Sorry I can't share the rewards but I did SUBSCRIBE! Thanks!!
So incredibly easy, never would have guessed. This hasn’t worked right for years and I would have changed it sooner if I had realized how easy it would be. Thanks Brian!
Just completed this only difference on my 2012 Harley-Davidson was the the modules come off with the trim panels and there are two screws holding the modules into the trim panel. Your video saved me $300 today. Thanks again.😊😊
Thanks again for a video that has helped a bunch of us for over six years now! There was a small difference for my truck (2012 platinum) -- Once the airbag was out (same procedure) the switch was actually screwed into the plastic bezel. It came out together pretty easily- no tools and minimal force needed, actually easier than the prying shown in the video. Other than needing a #10 torx (and a tough angle on the top screw), it was not a big deal. The switch mounts into the bezel that then pops back in place. Thanks again!!
I have put 474k in miles on my 2011 F150 EcoBoost, in a lil over 10 years. Never have had to replace these controls & never had any issues with them yet. Great video for sure!!
Thank you for your switch replacement videos. I now have control of ALL the windows in my F-150 and now when I turn the volume up or change the song from my steering wheel, it doesn't come up with voice control or change inputs or do all the whacky stuff that was going on in the old switch pack. I might add to your instructions though as I had everything just about ready to press the airbag back in I stopped, removed it again AND clean the better part of 4 years of dirt, crumbs, whatevs that normal cleaning and detailing wasn't getting because I had access to it. It's out in the open folks, run a cleaning wipe over it. Snapped it all back together. Also, as I had it unhooked for half an hour I also reset the conrol modules by grounding the positive connection to the negative cable as per your video. Just back from the learning drive. It is interesting to watch the sweeps in shifting go from wide changes in rpm to relatively narrow ones in the short drive that I put on. All in all a successful triple operation for me today. It was irritating when I'd keep hitting the steering wheel controls knowing I really could only rely on the radio controls. Not as irritating as unbuckling and reaching over to hit my riders window switch while careening down the superslab. Thanks for your videos.
Nicely done. Perfect match for my 2013. My volume control has been instead changing the radio stations for around two years now. This showed up in my recommended feed recently since I am a subscriber and after watching I decided why not? It literally took me as long as it took to watch and do along with you. Thanks!!
Thanks for making all the videos on F-150's you really helped me out and saved me from potentially breaking something. I spilled pop on my left button cluster and was wondering how I could get it out to clean it.
Thanks for the great video, I’ve let mine go for several years cause I wasn’t sure what all it consisted of to remove. It took longer waiting for the 10 minutes to pass than it did to remove and replace the right side control. Thanks again for all your helpful videos. Keep ‘‘em coming
Thanks. I replaced this is my 2013 F-150 in twenty minutes. It's even easier than it looks. 1 - Disconnect negative terminal of battery (my Tesla mechanic neighbor tells me mechanics don't bother and have had none go off) 2 - Using 4mm hex key push with slight force into the three holes in the order recommended on this video 3 - Lay air bag module on top of steering panel without removing connectors 4 - Remove connector to volume control module 5 - Push out old module with adjustable wrench I used to disconnect the battery 6 - Push new module in (a bit tight but you can push it without breaking it) 7 - Push connector onto volume control module 8 - Push air bag module into place 9 - Connect battery
I have a 2013 F150 Platinum with the right side switch that was messing up. The steering wheel has steel around the horn. My switch was locked in with two screws and the entire right side of the front of the steering wheel needed to be popped off then unscrewed the old switch and replaced with new. I then popped the entire right side back on and continue with your video. Thanks for the video, switch has been changed out for an off brand that was 1/3 the price of the Ford house. I would buy from the Ford house because I thought it meant the parts were better, but if they were better they would be going bad in under 5 years. Thanks again for the video, much appreciated!
Just replaced the control in your video on my 2013 F150 XLT; thank you! That left clip was a bugger! Thanks for the confidence! As a bonus, I took this time to clean up my battery terminals...nasty!
Thanks for the great demo video. Made my switch replacement really easy. However, I think you should mention the new switch pack may fit pretty tight at the top and bottom. Thus, causing potential pinching of the vinyl material around the switch pack pocket. This can cause a slight tearing/ knicking of the material. I had a slight pinch, but nothing serious. I would use a small piece of electrical or duct tape to protect the edges. Making sure not to place it too far into the pocket as you may not be able to completely remove it once switch is in place. Or, tuck a side in slightly, and force it in that same direction as you clear the opposite side to prepare it to be tucked in as well.
Did mine today! Great video but I would say you did not discuss the plug connection to the switch pack. Took me a couple of minutes but still an easy job! Thank you
I just replaced mine today. Great video!!! A few extra tips.... You should use a longer allen wrench like he uses because when I used a shorter allen wrench and it was a little more difficult. Also, you should make sure the steering is orientated straight ahead, because again it's more difficult because if the holes are not horizontal or vertical. Mine works now and not intermittent and it does not change stations if i press the volume!!!
Do you know if/where the switch packs might be available for a 2011 Ford Fusion hybrid? I have been searching far and wide but have come up with nothing
Thanks for the help. Have a f-150 LXT 2013. I like doing everything l can myself. Got the basic work covered. This is my first Ford anything and I love this truck. Thanks again.
Always enjoy your videos. I don't know carp about my F-150 so these videos ARE really helpful. I did have my spark plugs changed (to NGK) and put in synthetic oil based on your suggestions. Seems to be running good.
Just finished changing my right side steering volume controller which started acting funny where buttons started giving different commands than the ones they were supposed to give (weird!!),, Anyhow, thank you for taking me through every step i needed with only the required amount of details🥰😇
Great video! My right sided media button on my 2018 f150 have been remapping and intermittently being non functional lately. I was wondering if this could be a potential solution and if you had any experience with the 2015-newer steering wheels
Same issue. My 16 lariat started intermittently working not working on my left side Cruise and navigation buttons. Swapped the button pack. And it's better, but not 💯🤷🏾♂️
Worked like a charm!!!! Love your channel!!!! Very helpful with saving me money on my F150 by doing it myself! Best channel for F150 help! Thanks again!
I love your videos. I just purchased a 2012 F150 Ecoboost and your videos have been very helpful. Unfortunately, it has some things that need to be fixed. The steering wheel is worn and it bugs me to no end. Can I swap it out with a steering wheel that has the message center controls and swap in my controls? I just have the cruise controls on the left and the sync controls on the right.
Can I ask that you come to my home to perform this swap on my 2013 F-150 Platinum? Doesn't matter how many times I watch and absorb this video, as simple as it may seem to most, there's always SOMETHING that goes ary when I try to DIY! I'm in CA.
The volume up button on my 2013 f150 fx4 sometimes acts like I've hit the track forward button below it (I press volume up and instead i go to tje next song or radio station instead of the volume increasing). The track forward button sometimes acts like I hit the track back button instead. I can go weeks without issues, then days of constant issues. Ever come across that? I've wondered if it is a physical button problem or some sort of software issue.
Thank you very much for that I watch your videos all the time. I have a 2012 F155 leader. You are very, very helpful. I appreciate you very much. I wish I could take my truck to you. But you're a little far away. And I'm on a fixed income. And I can't get there so but I appreciate you very much. Thank you.
Thanks! Need some advice on a blender door? A/c and heat work only on passenger side. But I do not hear anything clicking like many say you should if it is a blender door? Thanks in advance.
Thanks. Gonna fix my cruise control switch. the on/off switch is working intermittently. The set switch is fine. So I know its the switch and not something else. Just waiting on the part and a day off. Subscribed and 👍
Can a steering wheel be upgraded / replaced to add radio controls? A 2012 F-150 XLT does not have SYNC and steering wheel radio controls. Do the connections already exist? Will be putting in an aftermarket radio with iDatalink Maestro RR interface to connect steering wheel controls.
Very well done! I bought a 2012 2 years ago and no issues with those buttons yet. But would like to muffle the loud sound of the blinker. Been trying to find a video that describes how to do it but can't find one. Any suggestions?
Great Video, I have a 2013 xl Ford 150. Is it possible to add cruise control and sync if I never had it by adding modules and changing steering wheel?Do you know if Cruise cntl wiring is there?
Thanks for the videos. I have a question. A friend has a 2012 and the cruise ON button requires you to push it over and over before it will come on. He already assumed it was the switch pack so we installed a new one that he bought but that did not fix the problem. There is a code about the left steering switch pack. I know you can't diagnose a truck you can't see, but based on your experience, do you think the new switch happened to be bad, or the clockspring is the culprit, or might there be some other issue? I've checked all the inputs for the cruise system and it will come on, eventually. The fact that it will eventually turn on and that we have a code for the switch pack makes me think it must something along those lines. Would really appreciate an opinion on this. Thanks!
A little off topic. Have a 2009 Focus with no illumination on steering wheel controls and gear shifter. Found Fuse 10 Blown, replaced but still not illumination. Do I need to reset something? Can you give some pointers? THX.
I have a 2020 Lincoln Navigator that was in a collision and the steering rack has a dent where the module goes and my scanner tells me lost communication. Do you know what I can buy to program another one if I install it ? Thanks
Can i take the radio controls from the right side steering wheel of a ford five hundred sel and install them into my ford five hundred limited?? Would it be as simple as replacing the plastic cap with the buttons or would i need to install a harness??
Great videos as usual.. Q: I have an 04 Lariat with a bad audio switch. I ordered replacements that come with cruise control switch/ audio and a new harness.. Should I replace the audio switch only or should I also replace the harness. Also, should I disconnect the air bag like you did in this video from the air bag or should I disconnect it from the steering wheel. Is there a difference.. Thank you..
Do you know if there's any issue with this year/model where the button doesn't prompt the voice commands? I've replaced this piece in mine and still the same issue. Fuse is good for the buttons and all.
Have a 2010 F-150 platinum and need to replace the steering wheel what's the newest one will I can put on. That's compatible with my controls. And can I upgrade my nav unit to a newer one that's compatible just trying to do a few upgrades but keep it factory
Is it possible to add the data center to a F150 that didn't have one originally by just replacing the cluster and the left side steering wheel buttons?
Do you have to disconnect the battery? I'm in a 2011 f150 king ranch air bag light is on none of the bottons on the steering wheel have lights and I hearing a popping sound when I turn the steering wheel any idea what it could be?
I just got a 2011 f150 xlt but doesn't have Sync. I want to install sync and LCD gauge cluster. I have heard that my truck is already prewired but just to clarify if this is possible
Any videos or advise on how to repair a wobbly steering wheel? Its only the wheel not the column of anything like that. 2009 Ford F-150,adjustable wheel. thanks.
I have a 2009 Lariat SCREW with the same right switch pack. Evert since I bought it (used) I haven't been able to use the call button on the wheel. I'm assuming switch failure.
Process was exactly as described, except air bag connectors were tough .. in fact I didn't even remove the air bag connection (I did remove the battery cable). The replacement volume switch had a "Hang Up" and "OK" button at the bottom, my oem only has "Hang up". The replacement does not hang up.
My 2014 mustang has the same problem but with the left side cruise control buttons, can I replace it the same way on my mustang or is there a different method to my car?
Looks very similar to the 2011 and up Fiesta steering button issue where the MODE button (M) becomes dislodged and falls out due to bad plastics design. You can't just buy the M, which would be optimal, but you have the buy the button pad - have you done any of these? It seems to be a similar operation, according to some FiestaFaction posts.
Thanks man for the quick response. See: www.fiestafaction.com/forums/threads/40010-Steering-Wheel-Button-Stuck and www.fiestafaction.com/forums/threads/36268-Steering-Wheel-swap (GREAT pics!)
Thank you for the videos. looking for a video to repair steering column, EXTEND and RETRACT feature stopped working after a rubbing sound for a long time... it still tilts up and down... just not IN and OUT.
You almost answer all my steps, the leather grip from my 2010 Harley division edition has warned out, I've went to places to get it re wrapped, one of the workers don't waste ur money, cheaper to buy a OEM steering wheel off eBay or Amazon with no air bag, $260.00. I'm planning to swap it my self.. Any step I should know when taking the steering wheel
I try doing mine right now. Come to find out it’s not the control. I looked at all terminals and all look fine. Any idea what else it can be ? It’s on the left. Cruise control works but not the okay or arrows
Hi, my steering wheel volume controls work fine but the writing is worn out on them. Can you just replace the top buttons that has the writing? Thanks very much. Great vid.
So about a week ago my 2009 F-150 FX4 developed a media switch problem. The volume - button raises the volume, the volume + button skips media forward. Is this a switch pack problem, or something in the computer?
My volume and skip buttons where not working properly so i changed this part and it still does the same. Is it possible there is a different issue or maybe a defective part?😢
Any clue on SWC / upraded Head Unit sync. As I get ADC and VOL on all programming keys when pressing swc steering wheel control keys? I was told may have to ground remote wire from head unit harness with only having a key 1 wire on connector. Anyone here? Stumped
I have a 2010 f150 Lariat and am having the same problems with the right side switch pack. Was this a common problem on the 2011's, and once the pack is out, can I disassemble and repair it? I am a competent tech, and have disassembled and repaired window, mirror and door lock switches in the past.....
Do the buttons have to be removed to replace the clock spring? I have the telescoping steering wheel on a 13 f150. My airbag light came on and my horn works at spots but not others
No remove the airbag as instructed, then disconnect the switch pack connector that goes into the clockspring and you are set top remove the steering wheel.
FordTechMakuloco awesome thanks for the quick reply. I'm a little nervous because I've never had an issue with one. I found no info on it and my last resort is a dealer.
I replaced both Cruise Control and also the volume Sync stereo ones too and they still dont work 2009 Ford f150 Platinum ? What would it be ?? Help please
I have a 2012 Ford Fusion, whenever I use the buttons on the steering wheel to control the radio, the radio station changes no matter what button I press. I took the car to a Ford dealership, they told me it needs a new switch pack, I went ahead and replaced it myself, it made no difference. I've had this problem for over a year, no one seems to be able to diagnose it correctly. Do you have any ideas on how I can fix it?
What about the 2013 Escape??? My controls keep on failing and they say that it is the "Clock Spring" that is going. Now that I don't have any warranty left, it will cost me around 400 bucks to have them fixed - about once a year. Can I fix this kind of thing myself ???? Thanks .........
I just fixed my new girlfriends F150 steering wheel switch using this video. She thinks I'm a genius. I think tonight's going to be the night fellas!! Sorry I can't share the rewards but I did SUBSCRIBE! Thanks!!
I know that feeling!!
nice!!
Like everyone else has commented, you've helped me through sooooo many projects on my F150 and make it THAT much easier!! Thanks a million!!!!!!!
So incredibly easy, never would have guessed. This hasn’t worked right for years and I would have changed it sooner if I had realized how easy it would be. Thanks Brian!
Just completed this only difference on my 2012 Harley-Davidson was the the modules come off with the trim panels and there are two screws holding the modules into the trim panel. Your video saved me $300 today. Thanks again.😊😊
Thanks again for a video that has helped a bunch of us for over six years now!

I have put 474k in miles on my 2011 F150 EcoBoost, in a lil over 10 years. Never have had to replace these controls & never had any issues with them yet. Great video for sure!!
Thank you for your switch replacement videos. I now have control of ALL the windows in my F-150 and now when I turn the volume up or change the song from my steering wheel, it doesn't come up with voice control or change inputs or do all the whacky stuff that was going on in the old switch pack.

It's out in the open folks, run a cleaning wipe over it. Snapped it all back together. Also, as I had it unhooked for half an hour I also reset the conrol modules by grounding the positive connection to the negative cable as per your video. Just back from the learning drive. It is interesting to watch the sweeps in shifting go from wide changes in rpm to relatively narrow ones in the short drive that I put on. All in all a successful triple operation for me today. It was irritating when I'd keep hitting the steering wheel controls knowing I really could only rely on the radio controls. Not as irritating as unbuckling and reaching over to hit my riders window switch while careening down the superslab.
Thanks for your videos.

Thanks.
I replaced this is my 2013 F-150 in twenty minutes. It's even easier than it looks.
1 - Disconnect negative terminal of battery (my Tesla mechanic neighbor tells me mechanics don't bother and have had none go off)
2 - Using 4mm hex key push with slight force into the three holes in the order recommended on this video
3 - Lay air bag module on top of steering panel without removing connectors
4 - Remove connector to volume control module
5 - Push out old module with adjustable wrench I used to disconnect the battery
6 - Push new module in (a bit tight but you can push it without breaking it)
7 - Push connector onto volume control module
8 - Push air bag module into place
9 - Connect battery
I have a 2013 F150 Platinum with the right side switch that was messing up. The steering wheel has steel around the horn.

Popping the side off was after I followed your instructions on removing the horn/airbag.
You saved me another hour of messing with the bottom pin. Your method of bottom first was right.
Chalk up another winner! Excellent way to help out techs across America and the world for that matter.
Just replaced the control in your video on my 2013 F150 XLT; thank you! That left clip was a bugger! Thanks for the confidence! As a bonus, I took this time to clean up my battery terminals...nasty!
That left side is tough! Thank you Sir for your video it helped me immensely!
Thanks for the great demo video. Made my switch replacement really easy. However, I think you should mention the new switch pack may fit pretty tight at the top and bottom.

Just used this Procedure and it worked perfectly. Thank You.
GREAT channel!! I just bought a F150 and have already used your video to change my spark plugs. Thanks for all the helpful videos!!!!!
The dude from clerks 2 knows it all. Good guy.
This video helped me a lot. Thanks for making such good videos and easy to follow along. I replaced my steering wheel buttons withing 10 minutes
One of the most helpful and instructive videos I’ve seen!! You Rule, Thanks for sharing your knowledge 💪🏻🫶🏻!!
Did mine today! Great video but I would say you did not discuss the plug connection to the switch pack. Took me a couple of minutes but still an easy job! Thank you
Excellent video, it took me only 10 minutes. now my buttons work correctly
Great video! Covered all the small details besides the switch pack connection but that was very straight forward.
This vid fixed my issue. Thanks for walking me thru it.

Yeah they just snap in not sure on the wiring through so see if the wheel harness cab be bought separately.
I have a 2009 and mine has been doing this for a while. Glad to find a fix. Thank you.
Thanks for this. I have a bad media button on my 2013 F150. Now I'm sure I can handle this myself.
Thanks, it took about 15 mins. 🙏

Thanks a ton, replaced the switch as you said, works perfectly.

Can a steering wheel be upgraded / replaced to add radio controls? A 2012 F-150 XLT does not have SYNC and steering wheel radio controls. Do the connections already exist? Will be putting in an aftermarket radio with iDatalink Maestro RR interface to connect steering wheel controls.
Do you know if you can replace the left side info/reset/setup buttons with the 4 arrows/OK button layout? Do they have the same connector?
Always great video!!
Thank You for taking the time to share with us how to fix these problems.
Very well done! I bought a 2012 2 years ago and no issues with those buttons yet. But would like to muffle the loud sound of the blinker. Been trying to find a video that describes how to do it but can't find one. Any suggestions?
Great Video, I have a 2013 xl Ford 150. Is it possible to add cruise control and sync if
I never had it by adding modules and changing steering wheel?Do you know if Cruise cntl wiring is there?
Is there a mini bulb in here to replace for illuminating or do I need to replace the whole switch like you did
Thanks for the videos. I have a question. A friend has a 2012 and the cruise ON button requires you to push it over and over before it will come on.

Great video. I just changed my left side control buttons but sadly the new ones don’t work either. Has to be something in the wiring.
How do you know if it is the steering wheel switches are bad versus the clock spring? Thank you!

Do you have to disconnect the battery? I'm in a 2011 f150 king ranch air bag light is on none of the bottons on the steering wheel have lights and I hearing a popping sound when I turn the steering wheel any idea what it could be?
Nice video. Can you tell me what are the colors of the wires on the connector you had to disconnect for the control switch?
I just got a 2011 f150 xlt but doesn't have Sync. I want to install sync and LCD gauge cluster. I have heard that my truck is already prewired but just to clarify if this is possible
Any videos or advise on how to repair a wobbly steering wheel? Its only the wheel not the column of anything like that. 2009 Ford F-150,adjustable wheel. thanks.
I have a 2009 Lariat SCREW with the same right switch pack.
Evert since I bought it (used) I haven't been able to use the call button on the wheel. I'm assuming switch failure.
Just replaced my module. Good video. Thanks!
Process was exactly as described, except air bag connectors were tough .. in fact I didn't even remove the air bag connection (I did remove the battery cable).
The replacement volume switch had a "Hang Up" and "OK" button at the bottom, my oem only has "Hang up". The replacement does not hang up.
My 2014 mustang has the same problem but with the left side cruise control buttons, can I replace it the same way on my mustang or is there a different method to my car?
Great video, we will be at CES Thank you for the content
Looks very similar to the 2011 and up Fiesta steering button issue where the MODE button (M) becomes dislodged and falls out due to bad plastics design. You can't just buy the M, which would be optimal, but you have the buy the button pad - have you done any of these? It seems to be a similar operation, according to some FiestaFaction posts.
+Dawgator I have never come across any of them having this issue that I can recall.
Thanks man for the quick response. See: www.fiestafaction.com/forums/threads/40010-Steering-Wheel-Button-Stuck

Thank you for the videos. looking for a video to repair steering column, EXTEND and RETRACT feature stopped working after a rubbing sound for a long time... it still tilts up and down... just not IN and OUT.
You almost answer all my steps, the leather grip from my 2010 Harley division edition has warned out, I've went to places to get it re wrapped, one of the workers don't waste ur money, cheaper to buy a OEM steering wheel off eBay or Amazon with no air bag, $260.00. I'm planning to swap it my self.. Any step I should know when taking the steering wheel
I try doing mine right now. Come to find out it’s not the control. I looked at all terminals and all look fine. Any idea what else it can be ? It’s on the left. Cruise control works but not the okay or arrows
Would this switch pack replacement guide be accurate for an 07 fusion as well? Great video btw
Are the steering wheel, door locks and window controls supposed to light up?
How do you replace the clockswitch on an '86 F150? I can't find a tutorial.
Do u have video for how to remove signals switch on 2011 f159 xlt echboost
Hi, my steering wheel volume controls work fine but the writing is worn out on them. Can you just replace the top buttons that has the writing? Thanks very much. Great vid.
I really should try and fix mine by myself thank you for the video
So about a week ago my 2009 F-150 FX4 developed a media switch problem. The volume - button raises the volume, the volume + button skips media forward. Is this a switch pack problem, or something in the computer?
My volume and skip buttons where not working properly so i changed this part and it still does the same. Is it possible there is a different issue or maybe a defective part?😢
I have the same issues with my 2015 f150. Do you have any videos for that?
Any clue on SWC / upraded Head Unit sync. As I get ADC and VOL on all programming keys when pressing swc steering wheel control keys? I was told may have to ground remote wire from head unit harness with only having a key 1 wire on connector. Anyone here? Stumped
Do you have to disconnect the battery completely or can you just disconnect the negative side for 10 minutes?
I have a 2010 f150 Lariat and am having the same problems with the right side switch pack. Was this a common problem on the 2011's, and once the pack is out, can I disassemble and repair it? I am a competent tech, and have disassembled and repaired window, mirror and door lock switches in the past.....
wingdreamer59 Yes the 2010 has the same setup on the right hand switch pack as the 2011 on I would just change it out.
Do the buttons have to be removed to replace the clock spring? I have the telescoping steering wheel on a 13 f150. My airbag light came on and my horn works at spots but not others
No remove the airbag as instructed, then disconnect the switch pack connector that goes into the clockspring and you are set top remove the steering wheel.
FordTechMakuloco awesome thanks for the quick reply. I'm a little nervous because I've never had an issue with one. I found no info on it and my last resort is a dealer.
Sorry to bother you but is there a video on the 2010 Ford Focus? I bet it's a pain to replace. Mine are still working but look worn
How involved is the hard trim removal for the high series wheels?
I replaced both Cruise Control and also the volume Sync stereo ones too and they still dont work 2009 Ford f150 Platinum ? What would it be ?? Help please
I have a 2006 model and the air bag is underneath the cap. Will it go off if I try removing the cap?
Will this same procedure work on the 2014 F150?
As always, you the man!
I have a 2012 Ford Fusion, whenever I use the buttons on the steering wheel to control the radio, the radio station changes no matter what button I press.
I took the car to a Ford dealership, they told me it needs a new switch pack, I went ahead and replaced it myself, it made no difference.
I've had this problem for over a year, no one seems to be able to diagnose it correctly.
Do you have any ideas on how I can fix it?
Just changed out the switch pack for my 2011 ford f150 stx and the audio control still doesn't work. What should I do next?
Where is the best place to buy the switches? I bought a truck yesterday and they are faded
What about the 2013 Escape??? My controls keep on failing and they say that it is the "Clock Spring" that is going. Now that I don't have any warranty left, it will cost me around 400 bucks to have them fixed - about once a year. Can I fix this kind of thing myself ???? Thanks .........
No I would not do a clockspring yourself without a video walkthrough anyway, lots of overlapping components.
