By far the best, most detailed video on this subject. I just changed mine today on my 2011 Nissan Pathfinder and I played this video as I replaced it. Perfect!
I liked this video, then unliked it so I could like it again. This video is awesome man. Thank you for your expertise and making it simple and straightforward. In my opinion the most crucial part is getting that spring centered! AWESOME VID, GOD BLESS YOU 🙌
Excellent video. I changed mine today. Without seeing this video I wouldn't have the confidence to do it myself. It all worked out perfectly. Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing this great guide video on replacement especially the part on the turns and centering the clockspring as that step can be overlooked. GREAT job👍🏼
Dealer wanted $850 to replace my clock spring. Found Clockspring Experts online and they had the part needed for $180. Took me about 45 mins to do while watching this video while I replaced it. Thx!
Very good video, I had to install the steering wheel sensor, I found that out as this video omitted that step, just 3 screws and all is well, thanks again.
Great video. Should be able to give more than one thumbs up. I managed to finally identify the right part and to look it up online. It's crazy how difficult it is. I guess that's how big automotive companies like it to be t overcharge for parts.
@@carapiet We'll see. I'll have my mechanic deal with it. For now I'm happy I seem to have managed to find the right part. For something requiring to touch less critical equipment like in this case, I'll probably try on my own. But I rather have a mechanic disassemble the steering wheel of the car my wife and kids use every day. Thanks again for the video. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the positive comment. This is the part number on Aliexpress: 25560-R07AB 25560R07AB ZP51D-25560-R07AB For Nissan Free Shipping. hope it helps
When you come to Romania, the first 10 beers are on me. You saved me a TON of money. My 07 pathfinder had an error with the right side curtain airbag module and no electrician solved the issue, and they checked every bit of wire. I made the last bit you had in the video, the 5x ignition diag mode and the error is gone! thank you a lot!!
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
Wish I Would Have Read This i Installed As It Was Installed InThis Video But Now The Vdc Ligth Wont Go Off,,,,,Now I Know Why I Will Remove And Reinstall
Super video!! DON'T DO WHAT I DID!! I should have left on the wheel nut a couple turns when bumping off the wheel... I ripped the clock top off and now am having a new one overnighted because I was only looking to troubleshoot. Leaving a couple turns on with the wheel nut would have saved me from SNATCHING the wheel totally off and ruining what may have been a good wheel clock 🤬 Life's an adventure 🤣🤣🤣 2014 frontier
Great video but please note folks this clock spring video is for Pathfinders that dont have VDC which utilizes a steering wheel angle sensor. You will need a different clock spring with a narrower 1.5" diameter center hole so you can swap out the steering angle sensor for the VDC.
@@familytreecollective5913 I don't have the box or the paperwork anymore. I think the main issue is that some websites were listing it as the same part.
@@ratking948 I found that to be the big issue. My only advice is to look closely at the pics and hope the one pictured is the one they send. Wish I had a better solution. Sorry.
Awesome tutorial. I have the same problem from my 2011 XTerra and do need to change the clock spring. Please provide link as the ones from eBay and dealership are way too expensive. Thanks.
The part number might be different! But match the pins as described in the video. I got this part from Aliexpress which is alibaba.com. Good luck and thanks for the encouraging comments Cheers
Great video !! Looks like it is a common problem for the pathfinder.. me and my friend have the same problem. I am in Doha as well and same model 2008 SE. Can you share the part number you ordered from Alibaba?
Hello Mr. Carapiet this is a great video. I have a question. Can you get a different yr for the clock spring or does it have to be the yr the vehicle is. I have a 2007 and could only find a 2006 but when I tried it it didn’t work.
i really appreciated, about your effort to give us knowledge. i have same issue with pathfinder 2009 se model. will it fit for 2009? and any specific link for this product in alibaba? Thank you
What happen to the steering angle sensor? Make sure the two prongs fit into the two slots. take off bottom of old clockspring and add to new with three screws.
I’m in the Middle East and the Pathfinders here don’t come with Steering Angle Sensors! However the wiring is there if anyone wants to add that on as a after sales add on! Cheers!
Hello I did this job month ago and it was successful thanks to you ..thank you . but I couldn’t stop the airbag light gone . with you’re process .on the switch is there any different way to do it ??
@@carapiet I do replace the air bag from jonkie part few months ago from another frontier maybe that’s way ..I can’t turn light off …other than that it’s working perfect 👍 thanks
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.
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.
@@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.
My Pathfinder is a Middle Eastern SE model and didn’t come with the feature “steering angle sensor” in 2008! But it does have the wiring if I wanted to add on that as a after market feature.
Yes, so some of the wires in the clock spring have lost their contacts and those control buttons have stopped working! It is only time before the airbag probably will stop working too. You can wait a while if the control buttons that are not working are not that important to you
Hello Now after about 8 months let's know your feedback and experience? Specially is there anything abnormal when you steer like any noise or something?
Very nice explainable video, but you didn't install the "steering wheel angle sensor" nor did you put the "white" wiring hornist at the left top into the steering wheel angle sensor, on the clock spring and without doing this, there will be a light on the dash board that will not go off !!
Hola amigo, a mí me pasó lo mismo, recuerde comprar la pieza que corresponde a su versión del vehículo, ya que hay una versión que no tiene el acople para el sensor de ángulo de dirección, el computador no reconoce el giro de la dirección y enciende esas luces, después de cambiarlo también es necesario programar el sensor
It may just be an issue with the sensor. It may not be necessary that you change the airbag. In both my cars, the dashboard shows an issue with the airbag. But that's a sensor fault, and the airbags are fine and would deploy as needed in case of accident. I recommend you check with your mechanic first, as long as it's a good one that you can trust.
I just changed mine out and had to remove the old steering angle sensor, and put it on the new clock spring. Worked like a charm! Thanks for the info on the diagnostic mode to clear the airbag light! My $300 code reader wouldn’t clear the light, but after a few cycles of the ignition and a start… light went off!
Make sure that wires and connectors under your seats are all connect good and not frayed or pinched. I had such a problem with my passenger airbag and light kept flashing. Dealer want $2500 to replace entire seat. I discovered the cable/wire was pinch on the rail that the seat slides forward and back. Moved it and zip tied it away from the rail and blinking light went out and everything works perfectly.
Well first the volume control, then after some time the cruise control on the steering wheel stoped working and then after a few years even the horn stopped working.
The vehicle is still drivable, the steering wheel will still steer, however ultimately all the electrical switches including the airbag might stop working!
By far the best, most detailed video on this subject. I just changed mine today on my 2011 Nissan Pathfinder and I played this video as I replaced it. Perfect!
Thanks for the encouraging comments
Excelente! Thanks.
did you do your 2011 Pathfinder with 3+8 pins part or 6+8?
Definitely not a 10mm nut holding wheel in place it’s a 19 but a great video and very detailed
I liked this video, then unliked it so I could like it again. This video is awesome man. Thank you for your expertise and making it simple and straightforward.
In my opinion the most crucial part is getting that spring centered!
