'12 Nissan Rogue: Air Bag Spiral Cable (Clock-spring)

Рет қаралды 131,515

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
