Thread: no airbags or radio controls

have you checked the steering shaft is it possible it broke. most of them have collapsable columns for accidents. idk how hard it fell but maybe enought to bend it at the collapseid be more concerned about it falling through the firewall than rotating it. any abnormal noise when you turn it? i assume everything was disconnected for the airbag before this happened?

no good news my man just looked at it on alldata:

The wheels of the vehicle must be straight ahead and the steering column in the lock position before disconnectin the steering column or intermediate shaft from the steering gear. Failure to do so will cause the SIR could to become uncentered which will cause damage to the coil

ya i think i broke my clockspring thanks for helpin don. The shaft is not bent or anything i have been driving with the light on for a month or so and just thought i would take a shot at fixing it today. I think i will just fix my super dim hud instead and mess with this another day.

no problem just make sure you disable the system b4 getting the clock spring nothing worse than taking a shot to the face from an airbag unexpectedly. Look it up on youtube there are some very entertaining videos on that...

ya i saw while i was looking up clocksprings that its pretty dangerous ill make sure to take precautions i might just get a whole "new" steering wheel from the yard mine is kinda worn out anyway. My hud is nice and bright now so at least i got somthing accomplished this weekend
