All finished! All I'm waiting on is the adapter for my aftermarket radio. I'll let you know what I learned. Maybe someone else will find this useful.

So, the clocksprings for 2004-2005 come in 2 different types. With steering wheel controls and without. Additionally, the steering column harness connector that connects to the clockspring also comes in 2 different types and they each have different connectors that attach to the clockspring (all of the other connectors on it are the same, which in my opinion is stupid). So, you need both the clockspring for SWC AND the steering column harness for SWC. Everything else appears to be fine.

One additional note: 2006+ GPs have the cruise control on the left stalk along with the headlights instead of the bottom right of the steering wheel. So while those clocksprings/harnesses may work, you would have to switch over to a new left stalk with the cruise control on it. Beyond that, I don't know if the clockspring and harness would work or not. I would say if you have an 04 or 05 just get the 04/05 parts to keep it as simple as possible. I'll post pictures and part numbers below.

New clockspring and harness:




Old clockspring and harness:



This is the 2005 connector to the harness WITHOUT SWC. The one without is a flat connector, while the one with the controls is rectangular. (sorry I forgot to take a picture of the SWC harness connector):



Make sure that when you remove the old clockspring that the steering wheel is straight and that it's lined up with the positive cable hole for the horn. Hold the center so that it doesn't move while you remove it. Then tape it or otherwise secure it so that it doesn't spin, because it does need to be "centered". If you need to reuse it for any reason and you don't do this, it could break during use when you're turning the wheel. I ordered a new one which comes centered. It has a plastic tab that keeps it from moving and keeps it centered. Just line it up with the horn wire hole and install it. Then you break the plastic tab off and it's free to spin. Super easy!



Finished product:



And it lights up too now! lol:




Part numbers

Clock Spring: 26097600
Retainer Ring: 274414 (Says it doesn't fit online, but I assure you it's the right one. This is in case you ruin yours getting the old clockspring off. I got lucky and my new snap ring pliers worked great.)
Steering Column Harness: Actually I can''t find the part number. I got mine from a used 05 column. I would ask your parts dealer or hit up the junk yard.

Cheers!!
