ok first of all thanks for the video. J Carapiet says below that where he lives in the Gulf Pathfinders don't have the angle sensor system, so, for us that do you'll need to transfer a piece from the back of the clock spring you're replacing to the back of the new clock spring you're putting in. 12:32 of the video shows the gray and yellow connections but next to those is where the other plug for the angle sensor goes. The plug that's sticking straight up. Remove 3 tiny Phillips head screws and transfer the white plastic connector piece for the angle sensor plug. Repair fixed my flashing air bag light, and my horn is working again

The video provides the repair is easy to follow instructions, but I do not recommend buying the part off of Ebay or Ali Baba. Since you are doing the repair yourself and the clock spring might have the ABS system tied in (his does not look like it has the angle sensor attached like mine did), buy an OEM part.
@dyip322 жыл бұрын
What is the purpose of the steering wheel angle sensor? I see that it was left unplugged, by what I'd assume is someone who did the work previously. You can clearly see it was never "unplugged" in this video, and it's seen at 10:04; the other smaller white plug to the left of the plug that was just removed. And then at 12:54, you see it was tucked away when the assembly was being re-installed.
@AP-yd1wz2 жыл бұрын
@@dyip32 It's an annular piece that has the wiring that connects to all the commands on the steering wheel. Therefore, per se, it's not that important. It all depends what doesn't work in the steering wheel sensor. I have had the one in my Pathfinder 2010 model not functioning properly for several months, but the only issue is that the honk doesn't work. I did not replace it because the original part is crazy expensive and didn't have the time to look for the right part online. Thanks to this video I seem to have finally found it. If you want to save money, but be safe, you can buy the part online, but have your mechanic confirm it's the right part, and have him install it. That's what I plan to do.
