'12 Nissan Rogue: Air Bag Spiral Cable (Clock-spring)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- In this video I install a new clock-spring/spiral cable in a ladies 2012 Nissan Rogue. It's not a bad job to do but the part is pretty expensive. I would definitely recommend using an OEM part though. Aftermarket SRS components are usually trash.
-Enjoy!

In the days before I started wearing trifocals full time, I found safety glasses with near vision magnifiers that saved the day. Suddenly there was daily motivation to have those safety glasses on. Since they only affect the visual field when looking down, you can wear them regularly even when not working close. Plastic, cheap, sold in well stocked automotive hardware stores. They last about a year, until they get pitted by hot metal shrapnel thrown off the grinder. Or search the term "safety glasses with readers". The magnification for most guys is usually 1.5-2.0 diopters, but if you're like me and want a giant view, up to about 3.0 is available with no prescription. I routinely use magnifying lenses for welding and cutting torches as well. Cheater lenses are a game changer for welding.
Great advice 👍🏼 Thanks!
I use these
I refused to get bifocals or trifocals and in my head I am not old enough so I went for the progressives and now I can say I can see and I do not have old man glasses, even though I am old as balls.
Imagine soldering in a jumper over blown trace while working with a strong magnifier in one hand and the soldering iron in another hand, and the wire that you're putting in with another hand, and the solder roll in another hand....
And still not being able to see what you're doing!
@@hommie789 Only use magnifiers to read (had cateracts removed ) ages ago now 65.
Who needs an Airbag, when ya got a Rosary on the Rear view mirror? Nice work!
Hey Mr. O.....quit fighting it. I gave up the fight at around 45. When I slipped those new glasses on for the first time I didn't realize how much I wasn't seeing. Night vision was improved greatly. I went from 20/15 to friggin blind in a matter of 2 years.
Oh I know I just need to get to the eye DR's sometime soon because it is going quick haha
Sorry , couldn't read your comment very well ( 57 year old eye bulbs 🧐 )
My first exposure regarding presbyopia was an article in Fine Scale Modeler magazine. If you're like me you now have glasses to drive/read/function (progressive lens), glasses to see closer (fix the car) and yet another set of glasses to see closest.
When I first got glasses I looked out of the window at the doctor's office I said Wow there are individual leaves on that tree!
Been wearing glasses since 1965, can't wear contacts. See a doctor get quality glasses. All of which need UV protection. They are an annoyance at times, but can save your bacon unexpectedly.
Working on the airbag is like being a bomb diffuser to me.
I love the reference to the Mike Rowe "Safety Third"
It’s wonderful to see Mr. and Mrs. O work together. I wish my wife and I could work our jobs together.
I was a Toyota dealer technician for 34 years and replacing the spiral cable was way simpler than this on all models and took way less time to do the same job. I retired 6 years ago and watch this channel to remind me how glad I am to be out of this trade.
Try doing a 2006 Chrysler 300/Magnum hidden set screw that holds the clockspring steering angle sensor turn signal and covers. First time doing one you will have half your toolbox on the passenger seat 😂
Kind of a thankless industry. Shops pushing profits over quality, the cost of tools, automotive engineers finding more creative ways to design the same parts, customers wanting cheap repairs but can't fix anything themselves...
Or you actually miss it a little…
Peg Hole Slot Shaft Nut. It’s Eric O’ After Dark.🎉🎉🎉
it is good that your wife is your best friend as well as your wife. that is getting rare.
Hey Mr O, take it from an Optometrist, eyes are like cars - as they get older things don’t work as well or at all(your near focus!) and replacement parts aren’t usually available. But the alternative is dying young so motor on! Thank you for your great videos and wit! Cheers from rainy California.
I made an eye appointment today. I'm not getting any younger.
I used to have a photographic memory. But with my advancing years, it tends to be out of focus and low on film, plus Kodak and Fuji quit producing it for my model 🤷♂️😏
Best part of the show is the banter with Mrs. O. Thanks for including it.
I like the Mr and Mrs. O Show. You guys are hilarious. Would love to be able to work with my wife. Not many guys would probably say that, but it’s great to see another couple that enjoy being together.
Big 2.5 lol. I love hearing your vehicle descriptions. Im old, so big motors are typically V-8 or larger. :)
When I was growing up the clockspring had one wire, for the horn
Always luv it when you spend 15-30 min trying to figure out something like a couple of connectors and all the other "complicated stuff" takes seconds....
In the early air bag days, I used to work on steering columns from out side the car until I had the airbag out and sitting on the bench. Some one came to the dealership and demonstrated how high the bag assembly went if it was bag side down. Don't want that hitting you anywhere.
I like watching idiots put em under some plywood and detonate them and ride the rectum rocket 🚀 boom 😆
As a craftsman in another field, I completely appreciate your mastery of yours. Kudos from one E to another
You did an excellent job fixing the car we need more people like you in this world Great job👍
ERIC O YOU ARE THE MAN, THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I WORKED ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT, AND GLAD IM RETIRED NOW. THAT IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF WHAT I DON'T MISS. GREAT JOB AND ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR PRESENTATION.
“It’s almost the weekend”
“…It’s Tuesday”
Love it 😂😂
I got a good chuckle out of that one too. Get well Vanessa. 😷
I imagine the relearn is comparing the front wheel speed sensors to the steering angle to calibrate it. Great video love the chat with Mrs O
I noticed a couple Video's ago that you keep your door remote on the brim off your cap. All the yrs of going in and out of my shop I never did that. Now it's part of my day when I'm working in my shop. LOL
Mrs O cracks me up “I knew you left ‘cos you weren’t there” 😀
This reminds me of the Rubics cube. Looks like you passed the test.
We learn as we go along, re-assembly is always a challenge for us older folk.
Hi Eric. Greetings from Australia. Just did the same job on an identical Nissan assembly. Clockspring had a bad circuit. The "clockspring" is actually a strip of flexible printed circuit using copper tracks. Being a cheapskate, I disassembled the clockspring and located the fault. As there were no other steering wheel controls in this car, there were lots of spare tracks so I just bridged across to use a spare pair of tracks for each wire to the airbag (only a 1 connector bag). Should last the life of the car now! I regretted not videoing the clockspring disassembly as it was a bitch to put back together but is now working fine. Concerning airbags, as you suggested there is a bit of hype around these. They are pretty robust. There are warnings about testing with an ohmmeter. I can tell you that you will not get enough energy from a digital meter to fire the bag (7 years working at an explosives test range!!) The real elephant in the room is static electricity which no one says much about!
It's a real thrill when six inches of ice blows off the top of the semi in front of you in Arkansas, and it's sunny!
Mrs O exited to a safe area when you were replacing the airbag module. I don't blame her in the slightest.
New auto repair word of the day "snuggle"
Hey Eric, I find myself doing a lot more work by feel rather than sight. I guess that's part of being 72 and counting! So glad you brought up the bathroom stall thing. Talk about controversy. Love your banter. Thanks for Sharing!
I'm 71 so I know what you mean.
Always nice to hear Mrs. O.
I think I'm most impressed that a Nissan Rogue has 160 on the speedo!
I have a buddy with an '11 Nissan Frontier with well over that I think. Yes, it's the automatic/CV tranny. So far so good as far as I know. He bought it used several years ago and it's been good to him.
plenty of Rogues at the junk yard here in Florida [ it's not the heat]
Both of you misunderstood. He means the mph on the speedo. As in it can go 160mph.
@@andrewkennedy9704yes he did misunderstand. I can say that my wife's 2011 Rogue with a CVT has managed to get to 175,000 miles, but the Transmissions been acting funny for probably over 50,000 miles. It jerks and stutters a lot of the times but then other days it won't do it at all. Very strange. The transmission is very whiny these days though.
Ready for some competition between you and Mrs O! Plus some good cooking videos!
Shitters full!
No problem,I have a T30 tamper proof!😊
That's hilarious. I always wonder about the one way fasteners in toilet stalls. Glad I'm not alone!
Don’t need a one-way unscrew driver, cuz the stall wall is probably already ripped off the walls or will be, with some tile work and new concrete anchors 🤷♂️😏
My wife had the same thing replaced on her 2013 rogue nice repair Mr. O
I've been stuck in front of a computer most of my professional life, and I finally needed glasses about ten years ago. Your videos are always a great spectacle 😁! Thanks as always, Eric!
😏🤫🤭😉👍🏻
It’s interesting listening to the conversation about snow on cars falling off, ice on the roads etc. I live in an area where we never have snow anytime of the year. So I sympathise with you folk. Cheers from Australia. 🇦🇺
Growing up in Minnesota that sheet of ice flying off the hood and hitting the windshield is a heart stopper
I have that same exact thought every time , people and toilets, there is no cure for them, we just have the tools to work on them.
"Dr. O" with a Ph. D. in grasping the obvious! Kudos in not letting the "nee san" clock spring get the better of you.
It's funny Eric, putting something back together always takes longer than taking something apart. Good job.
My eyesight started going in my forties. First in one eye and then both. I think it just reaches a threshold where you can detect it. Next time you're in a store that sells reading glasses, try them on and look at a package with small print on it to see if it makes it clearer.
That was a fantastic job getting those connections apart and back together. AND NO PARTS LEFT OVER!!!. I could never be a mechanic. I would be pulling the sledge out. Thanks for the video.
Being able to see, yup, you don't realize how freaking important it is until you can't do it. I struggle with reflective surfaces. Silver screw heads and the like, really screw me up. Can't do a thing without my glasses lol. Getting older is such great fun :)
Yanked that steering wheel off like a BOSS BALLER !! It's not a Silverado steering column video, but it'll do. Thanks for all the educational videos Mr. & Mrs. O.. God bless the O. family.
Thank you..just got nissan 2021..cruise control not working..your insight was refreshing..but since 1mo old to service shop we go..but have confidence to see what job entails..just sitying if other hiccups occur...just few days..but BigThank You for your work..excellent!!
I like step-by-step explanation workmanship God bless and Godspeed brother amen
Another fantastic display of craftsmanship.
Money is BONUS for excellence.
I like that Nissan put registration marks on the steering wheels and shafts. Vintage Land Rovers don’t have registration marks on their steering wheels.
“you die the whole family falls apart, I die you get a new husband“ yeah that’s pretty much how it goes universally.
I know it is a pain. However, if we put on our prescription glasses that enable us to see what we are doing with the small bits the job is shorter and a lot less aggravating. Either way, I always enjoy your lessons.
The Chrysler of Japan
Enjoyed the video as always . Your persistence and applied logic to overcome adversity are admirable . The humor and guest appearance by Mrs O are the icing on the cake . Eric, Greetings from the fringe of civilization up in northern Canada, you international celebrity / RUclips sensation you .
Hi Eric . Time consuming job & nicely finished. Talking about roof snow and I cam out a heated loading dock with 53’ trailer forgetting there’s 4” of ice on the roof made a right turn the ice came off & blocked three lanes of traffic. Not a good day . 😊
Interesting assembly. But you did it with no sweat. Nice work. My eyes too. I’m up to 3.0 readers for close work 1.5 for reading. Sucks.
Eric, I really enjoy your videos, and I love hearing the banter with your wife.
Self-tapping screws are usually used to assemble plastic parts, and there is a limited number of times these parts can be reassembled. When reassembling these parts, I've learned to insert the screw into the hole, push on the screw while turning it to the left until I feel the screw thread drop into the thread in the plastic, and then tighten to the right. Doing this reuses the original threads instead of cutting a new one. I understand that most of the time, you will likely be the last person to work on that area of a car, but adopting this practice will enable a greater number of times a plastic part can be reassembled. Actually, I do this with most threaded fasteners, and I find that it helps prevent cross-threading.
Thanks again for all of your videos.
I used to pick up at factory in Toronto Ontario, it made the product that goes in air bag, that inflates the air bag, and that product was basically rust.
Another great video Eric! We mechanics appreciate your patience and finesse it takes to make these types of repairs. That piggyback connector would have been broken by others I’m sure. I love not getting those “ehh, I wouldn’t have done it that way” moments when watching your videos (like I get when watching some other guys channels) 😅
As long as it works it doesn't rally matter.
I think a lot of mechanics are hobbled by working for people who push them to do things faster all the time, or want to pay a pittance for a job. As the owner you know you will be paying for any damage in the end so there is more incentive to take care.
Had my eyes flapped and zapped in 1995. Best $4400.00 dollars spent on myself. You can get them both done for $1600. Now close up work 1.0 correction needed through dollar general $2.00 glasses. You gotta' cut back somewhere.
"What's this sticky stuff?" "Maybe I don't want to know." Another Eric O. classic.
I have noticed all the cars you work on have the big engine ...lol .........you know what I like about you is you keep it real and you show your frustrations and joys you do not edit the ugly out always enjoy watching you
and is that an original Gulf oil hat or a reproduction
@@SaerTurner I think Eric's dad had a Gulf station.
Thanks for the videos. Always entertaining. Stay safe out there.
Haven't been a Nissan fan in many years
Great video on replacing steering sensor! When you do work I know that is done right the first time ! David U.
Thank you Eric for sharing your knowledge and indept experience. I always enjoy your videos.
Eric keeps us in the old corral. 😄
This is a good one Eric. Give Vanessa our love. We all appreciate her appearances in your videos, or maybe it's her videos. Maybe you're the guest.
Anyways that was a good one.
NY actually passed a law a few years ago mandating snow removal from the top of vehicles because that truck that lost the ice of the roof of the trailer killed a person. I expected that component to be way more complex to replace. You made it look easy. 👍
Another great repair video for all of us and yes it does help to see, keep up the good work Mr O
the lady went rogue and apparently the cvt is still working,miracles do happen
Thanks for the edumucation on the clock spring replacement.. Nice..Now to get some coffee in my SMA mug..
I love the quote on the toilet stall screws ! It's like Why !! Not like there a Highly prized item!! To steal ! Screws maybe! LOL
Love watching your videos. I have learned a lot of tricks from you. I have also bought a lot of tools because of you! LOL! But as a RUclipsr myself, I appreciate the work you put into making videos!
We had a school bus years ago at Lake Chelan that had a load of kids. As he putted around a corner the snow slid down over his windshield and he ran into the deep lake with the kids. We do remember that many years later.
www.historylink.org/File/7645
@@SouthMainAutoOh man, that's a sad story. What a deep lake and the article said the lake has a history of not giving up its dead.
Nice job Eric. I like your confidence.
Don't know if anybody else commented on connectors, but gray 1st then yellow just the opposite of removal. Lol excellent job as always, keep up the awesome work you do that teaches us the less knowledgeable on the subjects you video on.
Great video Eric thank you for providing me my evening entertainment. Get well soon you two!
Hope the whole family is feeling better.
Excellent video as usual covering a tedious repair.. 33:47
I JUST did this job on my 2014 Frontier. The radio/phone controls on the left side of the steering wheel stopped working. Air bag connection was still OK. This is probably the exact same part. I did have to get a steering wheel puller for this style with the two small holes on either side of the shaft - not enough "lead in my pencil" to just pull it by hand, I guess. And yes - I had to transfer the position sensor, screws and controls posts. Nissan would only sell the whole shooting match with the control posts that I didn't need with the clock spring for about $250. But I was able to get the Nissan clock spring ONLY from Flea-bay for about $50. Way better than $250. Keep that in mind if you need to do the same job. Thanks again, Eric!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy your week off!
Enjoyed Vanessa chatting! Eric your truly blessed with the best wife in the world!
Maestro of electronics.
Eric bringin the guns.
“…and a toilet stall.” Niiice!
Did the clock spring on the wife’s Tucson a month ago, and you have to clear the code before the light goes off as well, i got hers from the wrecker for $12 compared to $347 from the dealer.
Another excellent video, Mr. O. The back and forth between you and Mrs. O is priceless. Hopefully you are both feeling better.
Hope you and the wife feel better soon.
Do you miss your little helper? My opinion on this video, hmmm. Well, I think it was pretty damn good. I like that Mrs. O payed us a visit as well.
I had to replace a clock spring (cable) on a ‘97 Voyager .. I was almost “clocked” by the steering wheel airbag .. it was tough to get loose, but when it let go, Whoa! .. almost a man down .. juggle caught it just before it hit the ground😮
Safety third...as Eric sits to the side while working on an air bag..fuunnnyyy
always a pleasure to watch you work thanks
My eye doctor gave 2 options. 1 to use readers for magnification. Or 2 use a single contact lenses that provided the magnification needed. Thought that was weird but other people tell me it works. I went with readers due to the dust in the construction sites we work in. Easier to clean reader glasses than flush out an irritated eye
President Reagan had contacts. He used one eye for reading and the other to see where he was going.
At 57 i just broke down and got multifocal contacts, wish i did it years ago!
@kurtb3606 I got no line bifocals about 3 or 4 years ago. I tried to get the eye doctor to set me up for contact lenses but he just kept talking and talking about how I needed to do bifocals. I caved in but I must say I rarely use them and just walk around with some reading glasses handy.
I can appreciate the "It's just my option" comment. Today's world does not seem to think of another's perspective. Just my opinion.
I would take your worst day over most mechanics best day, hands down!!!! Keep pluggin
Awesome timing, my guy... I'm tracking down the air bag light on the wife's 2012 Rogue...
Did it end up being the clockspring? My wife's horn isn't working and then I checked and her cruise control isn't working. I think it's the clock spring and it's a 2011 Rogue.
@@TortureBot My problem ended up being the air bag module... Sounds like your symptoms would be the clockspring, but always test - don't guess... Good luck...
@@steveo6631 thanks. I bet the airbag was a bit expensive huh?
Same set up on a 2009 Xtrail, had to change mine twice, faulty unit on first one. Took me about 30 minutes. Had ABS light flashing, other symptons included radio buttons and cruise control not working on steering wheel.
Quote of the century at 25:14. 🤯👍👌
Lasik Eric will change your life more then those braces for sure.
Hey Mr.O they got some pretty sweet prescription bifocal safety glasses. I got some myself out in the shop.
