Jeep Wranglers #1 Problem Fixed!! How To Replace A Clock Spring
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Fixing one of Jeep's #1 problems, the clock spring. Do you have dash lights that come on? Have you lost traction control or antilock brakes? Well it might be due to the failure of the clock spring behind the steering wheel. Unfortunately it is normally an expensive part unless we try this ebay special.

Great video Colt. FYI turn the steering wheel lock to lock and back to center on start for relearn. This will get the computer to acquire new data to reset dash lights. If you should continue to have issues check the steering angle with a scanner. The steering angle has to be 0 degrees or system will not function correctly. If angle is off adjust draglink. I hope this helps someone it took me months of research to fix my JKU.
Nice tip on touching the battery terminals together. Very well put together how to.
another great how-to!
I know of several others you've done, like what's needed and how to install and setup ring & pinion gears, what's needed and how to modify and assemble double reduction on transfer case, etc.
I assume you will be setting up some sort of indexed list of all your how-to guides so we will be able to find the one we need?
Interesting that this is the default fix. On Land Rover Freelanders (LR2? In US) we talk about the 'Three Amigos'. When the ABS, TC and HDC cone on together. It is almost always an ABS sensor that has lost signal. Clock spring would be later in the diag.
My son is a mechanic and he had an issue with ABS etc coming on on a Mitsubishi. Turns out the wheel bearing replacement wasn't quite correct and the ABS sensor was drifting in and out giving odd signals.
Thanks for the good work and hope the channel grows.
Cheers from the UK.
If it happened to kick the lights on when I was doing anything else but turning then I'd have looked into the speed and abs sensors for sure.
@@coltbuildsit ah, of course, missed the steering aspect being the obvious call (Doh!) 🙂
Just with Land Rovers and their famous reliability, using a dumb plastic sleeve for the abs sensor means a stray stick and Three Amigos 🤢... We don't get many proper Jeeps over here.
Hey Colt. Thank for showing this and helping to take the mystery out of it!
You bet!
It was amazing to meet you at the off road games! Love the pacer and the S 10 build.
For any one who has not had the opportunity he is a stellar guy!
Have a 2014 JKU. Never seen or heard of this problem. Never seen a steering wheel removed. I am gaining a lot of respect for your channel. Very well presented instruction. Not something I would like to face, but you made it a little less scary. Keep it up!
🚨Colt, you definitely need to make some kinda of a RUclips short regarding this fix and link it back to this video 👍🏼
Could just be me but I typed in "JK clock spring replacement" and boom, there it was, second video down.
Harbor Freight 42926 Torx T-handle set
👍🏼The title should say what the fix is. So the Vehicle Make & Model year & what part you are showing how to replace, this will get more traction 👍🏼
Nice one Colt
Thanks!
Very helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Nice video. I’ll never own a Jeep but all brands suffer from this.
1:54 judging by that graffitied overpass you're definitely in New Mexico.
Did you have to get a clock spring that matched your VIN? I did a clock spring in my WJ but it needed to be dependent on my VIN. I don't have to change my clock spring on my JKU yet but it is quite a bit different than the WJ.
8:28 For those of you at home, DO NOT REMOVE THAT CLIP until the clock spring is fastened down or you will end up needing to buy another clock spring.
Great info. Appreciate you.
Had a JKUR for about 5 years. #1 problem well maybe but the only repeat problem I had was ball joints. If ball joint deletes existed at the time that might have ended the cycle. You should get a ton of content out of that rig, and that being said I wish I never sold mine.
Thanks, I enjoy your show
Nicely done
I dont have a Jeep😂 but i liked to watch it anyway😂
Learned a lot
How come you bought a steering wheel puller and didn't just wiggle the wheel back and forth to loosen the spline?
In the past I've broke my nose playing that game...🤷♂️
Now come do my Tacoma 😅
This is the type of content needed, things to help the little gut save money.
I purchased a used 2010 jku Rubicon, in Colorado. Then I took it into the local dealership in NM to get it checked for recalls, and the clock spring was a recall item. They took it to the shop, and it came back out in an hour, all no charge.
Same here. Had to wait 3 months because the parts were back ordered. Must have been a big run on them.
Good morning Colt I really like the idea that you do how to videos that can help people and save them a lot of money.
I wish more people would do stuff like this to be honest a lot of people aren't made of money and can't just go buy brand new or take to the dealer
I absolutely hate those damn clock springs
This doesn't help my 97, but it'll certainly help others. Keep these coming. I like to learn from RUclips University as much as I turn off my brain to be entertained. Thanks
Im very inpressed with your knowlege of these newer jk wranglers nobody has this kind of knowledge in florida i hVe issues on my 2013 jk wrangler i need your help please p0349 code Circuit intermittant doesnt come on all the time😢
Hurray! for the simple explanation. .... I recently discovered how to stop the start up ticking of my 2012 JK, floor the throttle while holding the brake and the engine will turn over but not fire, so there is some oil pumped and it doesn't start dry. Which leads to Baxter Performance. Tell us what you know. Please.
Too bad someone doesnt make a delete clock spring option or simple solution to the poor factory Jeep design
Nice information to know about the clock spring replacement as well of the tip with touching the battery terminals together after they are disconnected.
Just a tip-After you put it back together turn the key on then go out nd hook up the battery. That way if it blows your not in front of it, And also set it aside with the bag facing up
that way incase of a accidental deployment it won't get air born
You saved me some serious money.
Always good to know a easier cheaper way to do things on your vehicle
I get nervous about replacing the clock springs on any car! That discharge practice is golden when you grounded the positive lead. I don’t like the airbag going off either!!
Does all this apply to a 2007? I have these issues with mine. I have heard wheel sensors, I have heard to do the hokie pokie steering wheel dance (guess my software doesn't not allow this)
My lights dont come on all the time, and is really sporadic.
At the moment I just have the fuse pulled cause im tired of the traction/eps light doing that.
I have never owned a Jeep but if this is a common problem I would be able to fix it myself now for sure!!! Thx for sharing.
Thanks for the video. Had the same problems. Showed everything that I needed to do. Took about hour and a half. For me. But all in all. Fixed the problem. Again thank you for the help
Make sure that you check with Jeep and make sure this is not a recall item. I have a JKU with a ton of miles on it and I have replaced the clock spring three times before I found out it was a recall item and the dealership did it for free. And yes I paid the 400+ dollars per clockspring every damn time.😡
I have heard this on forums, I called a local dealer and the guy could not confirm if mine was a recall item. He just kept saying bring it down we'll look. I don't trust them. Anyone know if there is a database out there to see if the recall applies to a certain year/model?
You can check for recalls on your vehicle on the nhtsa.gov website.
I've got a 2017 JKU, and my wife has a 2016. We moved to Kenya, East Africa, and both just started having this problem. I'm hoping I can find how to get the parts here.
Thank you for posting this.
Very simple and helpful video. I do have a question: I have a 2009 Jeep Wrangler Sierra and had my clock spring replaced some years ago, but shorty after, my horn stopped working as well as my cruise control. Did they mess something up? Is this another bad clock spring symptom? Could it just be wiring? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Pick everyone’s brain? 2013 JK, stick shift, 4wd, I had to replace my clock spring already, I had an issue before and still have it now. Driving straight at about 45mph or above, hit a decent expansion joint, heave or pot hole, traction control light, abs light, power cut out, kinda limp mode. Have to pull over, turn everything off and wait 5 minutes, restart it’s fine, 4:30 seconds and it’s still stuck in limp mode. 5 minutes it’s magically reset… help???
I just ordered one off of ebay myself... was out off roading in the middle of nowhere and it happened. Scan a crap out of me and do to the fact that I was 3 hours away from home got home no issues Other than annoying Bing every minute 😂
GET YOUR DEALER TO DO IT FOR FREE. There is a recall on this. Check the two NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V288000 and 13V176000. My dealership was going to charge me $1600+ for a new airbag on my 2011 Jeep Wrangler. I had to ask 3 different advisors to have the "technician" check the clockspring first. They finally checked and replaced the clockspring under the recall with no cost to me.
So i have a 2014 wrangler that isn't shifting and speedo isn't working. Abs had been on for a while, but now it shows u1412. One search says could be the sensors inside the trans. It only has 85k miles and I'm stressing because i cant find the issue
Ok... So needing to ask for help.
My steering wheel won't go back on the shaft all the way. It gets stuck about half way going on the shaft.
Any ideas why or tricks to get it back on??
Awesome video and easy to follow! I had to watch a different video to help with the airbag removal portion, turns out the three pins were stuck!
I replaced the clockwork and finally got rid of those annoying ESP BAS & Traction lights.
Now I have a separate issue: I’m getting the No buS error and flood of dash lights, on occasion. Anyone else get this?
Could it be a bad clockspring ( bought new on eBay)?
Appreciate any advice here.
Bought myself a low mileage 2015 JK Rubicon Unlimited right after getting home from Matt's Off-road Games. If this ever happens to me... I'll know how to fix it. Road trip to New Mexico 😂
Great channel Colt, these subjects are truly helpful and for those of us that do not mind getting into it, Must commend you on how you simply explain the processes Well done Mate !!
I appreciate that!
Fix the same problem on 2010 EX35 INF. Before the fix, it was un-drivable with shaky steering and very strong pulsing brakes. Cheers, mark
Well I bought the same Jeep last year. I just fired up my CHEAP not cheap 5.3 swap and will start beating on it soon.
Could I put a after market wheel on it? Thank you for starting your own channel I like Jeeps but also own 4runner's and will soon
Get old F-body Mullet cruiser camaro for BURNOUTS and just to be loud and fun.
Smart move. I always love "beating the system " when it comes to auto repair.
FYI. You can still have this done under warranty at the dealership. The only catch is you HAVE TO HAVE the airbag light going off as well. There is an Extended Service Warranty/Bulletin that they don't like to tell you about but if you push, they have to fix it for you. How do I know? Just had mine done few weeks ago for ZERO $$$ at the stealership on my '14 JK. I had originally planned on doing it myself because my airbag light was not indicated. I even bought all the stuff I needed, then one morning the airbag light came on, I made a call, they ordered the parts, and 1 month later it was done. If anyone needs a clock spring, I have an OEM MOPAR sitting on the shelf, will sell for cheap.
The clock spring has a 15 year extended warranty on it. I know my 2016 jku Rubicon clock spring went out, found out about the warranty, and at no cost hot it fixed, I could have done it myself....but free is better for now
Thank you for this knowledge. It's too bad that all this junk has to be put on the newer vehicles. What the hell happened to 60's & 70's common sense. Long live the '64 J series pickup, 327 V-8 4 speed manual trans.
good content! Now if you could work on some 6.5 tow pig stuff........ Likeing the channel and like seeing you and Rory climbing the OnX
Colt, another great video! You’d be the perfect guy to do a video or a series that I think would be very useful.
For several vehicles, as you have time, share what usually breaks and what to upgrade before off roading.
I drive a Tundra Crewmax, and I want to come to Utah for mild off road vacation.
What breaks? What should I check and upgrade?
Just a thought, I appreciate all you do, thanks.
Great video. I get a shudder every once in awhile when turning and braking on a right hand turn. Also when hitting potholes or a rough road my traction control light pops on. I think you solved my mystery issue. Thxs again 👍
Replace the hubs, too. These jeeps are so easy to work on.
Could this be a Chrysler issue..? Same thing happens to my 2006 2500 Hemi 4 wheelD… same lights… had most joints and bushings and alignment, and same issues and lights..!
i replaced my clock spring on my 2014 wrangler after i did i started having shifting problems and the check engine light came on for the airbag clock spring? any ideas??
Damn… I had no idea. Colt maybe a touch of light and bringing the camera closer to the underneath when showing the clips or screws would be helpful for the once a year backyard mechanic. But overall your saving people a lot of frustration and money. I’m going to look for a broken one to buy now. Lol. Have a good day bud. 👊
That’s a really good video! I sold my last Jeep with that issue. 🤦🏻♂️ could’ve fixed it for $50!
On my 2015 the horn is bolted in not clipped. Otherwise great video.
Good stuff. If you ever want to do a video on rebuilding an AX-15 from a TJ, let me know. I’ll bring you one. I bought Casey LaDelle’s stretched TJ and the transmission needs some love.
Thank you! Also, the writing down the info for the oil change under the hood - brilliant. Mine is written on a pad of paper in the garage that I can never find.
If that’s the 3.8L mini van motor, the next issue will be valves… Good luck!
My wife’s JK did this after I installed the lift kit, (I neglected to center the steering wheel)
But she complained about the steering wheel enough that I finally centered it, those lights have not come on since.
Unrated ,
I do need a $300 clock spring for my Ram 3500.
Outstandingly done. Great content. And after hearing it start up. Sounds like you need to visit Paul Cox for some exhaust work. LOL
Not always the fix. Just sold a 2007 that had no working horn, no cruse control, traction control light and an air bag light that drained the battery in 48 hrs. I replaced 2 clock springs, air bag computer, cruse control switch, horn relay, cruse relay. Nothing worked. My problem was either in the ecm or in the wiring. I got sick of wasting time and money and sold it cheap. I told the buyer that they had to unhook the battery every night and they wanted to buy it anyway. I'll never buy a computerized jeep again. Old school Jeep maybe.
remove airbag and clockspring, install resistors, use quality momo steering wheel. problem permanently solved.
Thanks Colt. 2014 Wrangler owner here and so far so good. 🤞
Great video Colt. “Colt Kills It”!
I have a '15 JK. There is a recall on that clock spring. Jeep has extended the warranty on that part for quite a while. Mine has been replaced twice for $0 at a dealership. Good information if they ever cut me off and I need to DIY.
Already subscribed and liked, so here’s a comment: good job colt. I don’t own a 2009 and up but if I see anyone with this issue I’ll send them to the video.
I have taken my jeep in to the dealer three times for the clock spring.
The next time I took it to a different dealership because when they replaced it last time, all my buttons stopped working . They told me that it wasn’t the clock spring and they wanted $1200 more for diagnostic of why my menu button wouldn’t work and scrolling button on the steering wheel.
Stealerships, don’t trust em
Lives in Farmington for over 20 years. I work in the oilfield. Moved to SE New Mexico about 6 years ago. There are many excellent places to see in the area. I have people there that can show you some lesser known sights if you are interested Colt.
I'm confused. Is it 2007 and newer or 2009 and newer? And isn't it a repair rather than a modification?.
Question.. I just had mine replaced at the dealer because it was still under warranty. Is the steering wheel supposed to be really stiff afterwards. It feels like I don't have power steering anymore?
I'm a XJ person my buddy just got a 17 jk very informative thx again
Colt. Looking to add beadlocks to my Gladiator. What wheel is the best bang for the buck in your opinion? Thanks
A perfect example of useless tech just to drive prices up . For the past twenty years the auto industry has been making cars and trucks with poor visibility for the driver . A pillars and B pillars in the wrong places or angles due to aerodynamics and fuel economy . Many seats are lower so now the hood and rear deck obstruct the drivers view . UN SAFE . Then they put in TV cameras and readouts that are not legal to use while driving . Given the choice I would buy older designed vehicles , much more user friendly . Mechanical fuel injection has been around for over a hundred years and you don't need a computer to adjust it . I've been around this stuff most of my life and see unnecessary $ spent on tech , they have even started dragging it into the lawn and garden industry . Are we so stupid that we need a computer board to light up and tell us to sit on the seat , check the oil , push the break , disengage the blades , and put in neutral ?
Thank you
We just bought a 2017 wrangler sport unlimited. And nowI know the ding and brake light when I hit the brakes hard issue.
A sight piece of mind as to the we are dealing with.
But the big question is - has there been or why has there not been a recall if this us a known issue?
Love the channel great advice and best of all money saving tips. Plus I know absolutely nothing about vehicles except the very basics so this is great information.
I have a 2014 and the dealership had a recall notice sent out to me and when I took it in they said mine is fine? Ignoring the recall on my Jeep?
My issue is if it happens I’ll probably have no recall warranty.
Great vid colt. I have a set of Rubi-rails for that jeep if you want them. Just give a call next time you are in the Hills.
Thank you Colt for sharing this information with me ! I have a 96 Suburban that the fuel pump went out on it ! Bought a new one at a parts store installed it but still had a problem ! So I took it to a shop they replaced the fuel pump and it has worked great every since then ! Come to find out for some reason the fuel pump that I had bought wasn't putting out enough fuel pressure to allow it to run correctly ! The shop put a AC DELCO fuel pump in it ! I'm not sure what brand of fuel pump that I got from the parts store other than that's what the fuel pump suggested by the computer ! Is there away to adjust fuel pumps to increase fuel pressure or dercrease fuel pressure ?
If your out and having issues with your a.b.s or traction control you can pull relay/fuse j6 and it cuts it all off 100%
Do you know what I love about RUclips you can find and watch reality none of this Hollywood bull crap
I like your channel Mr
If they would’ve had RUclips back in my day which we didn’t even have cell phones I never would have went to school
School for me was a waste of precious time in your life you can learn more in two hours at home than you can ever learn in a week at school💯
Great video. I cringed when you turned the key. Waited for airbag to pop. An idea for a video would be replacing the plastic clip for the shifter cable in the console.
Any reason why my traction control light stays on after I replaced the clockspring?
That is very helpful thank you Colt for sharing!!✌️🇺🇲
Good info here. Always good to save some money on repairs that most can handle.
Thanks Colt…..now I am aware and prepared. Has not happened yet on my 09 Jk, but maybe soon.
My dads jeep was in and out of the shop for months! It was this problem!! Wished i had of seen this Ellery... they charged him all together $4k. I have been watching your channel for a while. Please keep up the good work!!!
I've replaced so many clock springs that I can usually diagnose it over the phone. I ask the customer does it typically happen when turning and when it does happen check to see if your horn works.
Outstanding video!
Really, really excellent information
Just changed mine out 2 weeks ago to fix these annoying issues on my 2001 Jeep TJ Sahara
Did you by any chance see what kind code it was logging, mine has those same symptoms and is logging a ABS module internal code.
Love it. You are good that that you share. Don't have a Strangler but good to know. Thanks for sharing.
