  • 2002 Toyota Sequoia.Thought my clock spring was bad but found out the problem was on the ground side but acted like a bad clock spring. Don't let this happen to you. If you have this horn issue along with an air bag light then the clock spring is a pretty good bet but if it's just the horn, you had better check it first to confirm it. It could still be the clock spring with just the horn issue but not always.

    Just wanted to thank you for posting this video. I spent $15.47 for the cleaner and lubricant and followed the process you outlined. Worked perfectly!!! Thank you again; this saved me a lot of money.

    I removed the clock spring and tested the ground of the horn to the steering shaft. The horn worked at that spot of the bearing against the shaft, so I thought the clock spring had to be bad. I ordered an aftermarket spring and installed it. Glad I did not spend the money on a Toyota one. The same horn issue happened. I then took all back off + the signals and wiper controls. I got a lot of the rust off the bearing with steel wool, vacuumed it, cleaned the bearing with electronic parts spray, let dry and then repacked the bearings with dielectric grease. The horn now works great. I would have fixed it a long time ago if I knew it was so easy. If you are testing the bearing, temporarily put the steering wheel on turn to test in several places to make sure the bearing ground is not truly the issue before replacing the spring. Thanks for the info and video!

    I want to say thank you so much. This worked exactly how you described. I used the spray and lithium grease as stated and it worked like a charm. 4 years after your post and its still helping Tundra owners. Great video!!!

    Did this today on my 2005 sequoia. Sure enough washed out rusty crud and repacked with dialectic grease and now horn works perfect. Thanks for this video.

    Can 100% confirm, this guy was right. Cleaned the bearings out, packed new dielectric grease and horn works fantastic now. No new clock spring needed.
    You need a Philips screwdriver, LONG extended T30 and a 19mm socket. I used regular contact cleaner since I couldn't find deoxit locally

    I had the same exact problem. This seems to be the fix. I followed your steps and the bearings were rusted. I cleaned the bearing as you did in the video and then packed it with dielectric grease. Wow!!! The horn is now working!!! Thank you for posting this video.

    Great video! I sure learned a lot. If you ever take the steering column apart, please show step by step. You’re a great teacher. Looking forward to the next one.

    Very helpful. Where did you connect your multi meter to vehicle ground - the black probe?

    I had bought a new clock spring but watched this first so I cleaned out the bearing and re greased it. Put everything back together and now horn wont stop. I'll pull it apart. I must have pinched a wire.
    I went back this morning. Turns out I connected the wire directly to ground on the side instead of the correct tab on the bottom. Moved it t the correct tab and everything is good.
    170,000 miles????? Man it isn't even broken in. Only 248000 on mine.

    2003 Tacoma with same steering wheel.
    Horn blows erratic.
    Think it could be a bad clockspring?

    I tried your fix and changed the clock spring. No air bag light. Horn fuse ok. Not sure what else to check. Any ideas for what to check next?

      Did you clean all the rust from the bearings with Deoxit and then pack the bearings with dielectric grease?

  • @tigerfn84

    Does the bearing ground also affect the cruise control?

    You cut the video SHORT! lol I need the footage between pulling the turn signal levers and getting to the bearing! Haha Great video for the rest though..

      You need a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the clock spring and the blinker/ wiper control assembly.

      Same issue…how do I proceed after removing the clock spring to get to the bearings? I am afraid to start pulling and disconnecting stuff
