Replaced my clock spring this morning, took about 45 minutes tops. I didn't even have to refer back to this video as I had it all in my head from watching earlier. Now my cruise control switch turns on like it is supposed to do. I haven't tested it out on the highway yet. So all total I spent less than $60 to repair my cruise control. Thank You to The Practical Mechanic for this easy to understand video that made it super easy for me to do myself. Also thanks for including the size of the nut that holds the steering wheel on, I was able to find the one I needed before I took everything apart and discovered that I may not have the size socket and have to run buy one. Luckily I had the right socket and the wheel came off without much trouble. I almost always have to run to the store to buy something else to get the job done.
Hello. How much did you pay for the oem? Dealer is charging me a lot of money for it. I see some online that says oem but doesn’t say Toyota and they are about $60
What’s the part # for the OEM Toyota Spiral cable?
Great easy to follow along with the video. No Unnecessary crap that we didn't need, just straight to the point and no repeating the same info over and over. Thank You for a well-done video.
Great video. We were able to fix our truck with your help.
You really do some fine work. Just got my first Tacoma, a 2004 , V-6 4 wheel drive with manual 5 speed. First problem? Cruise control not working. The on-off switch works and the cruise light works. So here I go! QUESTION: Are the odds in my favor that the Cruise switch has a bad switch? It feels a bit sloppy so are the odds that the new switch will fix the issue?
You did the best of all the other videos!!!!
Thank you for this video! Fixed my issue. 2010 taco with stereo controls, horn, airbag, and cruise control routed through the clock spring. Horn didn't work. Airbag light was on, but truck had no codes. Cruise control still worked. Swapped out clock spring per your great detailed instructions. Everything works. Thanks again.
Hi there my cruise control works and there is no airbag light, but my horn has stop working only when I turn in on certain angles. Even if my airbag lights not on could my problem still be the clock spring? Thanks !!
My 09 tacoma keeps blowing the horn fuse when used. I believe the clock spring was replace by toyota. Any thoughts. Thanks
Nice video bro!!!! It sure helped me air bag light off and my cruise control works! Thanks!!
Nice video, I think you forgot to include the steering wheel nut torque spec. However this video will help me in my quest to try to fix my cruise control issue on my 05. Thanks.
