  • Fixing one of Jeep's #1 problems, the clock spring. Do you have dash lights that come on? Have you lost traction control or antilock brakes? Well it might be due to the failure of the clock spring behind the steering wheel. Unfortunately it is normally an expensive part unless we try this ebay special.

    Nice tip on touching the battery terminals together. Very well put together how to.

    @MrStaybrown Před 3 měsíci +24

    I purchased a used 2010 jku Rubicon, in Colorado. Then I took it into the local dealership in NM to get it checked for recalls, and the clock spring was a recall item. They took it to the shop, and it came back out in an hour, all no charge.

    • @BillyBoulder
      @BillyBoulder Před 3 měsíci +1

      Same here. Had to wait 3 months because the parts were back ordered. Must have been a big run on them.

  • @alansmith5604
    @alansmith5604 Před 3 měsíci +19

    Great video Colt. FYI turn the steering wheel lock to lock and back to center on start for relearn. This will get the computer to acquire new data to reset dash lights. If you should continue to have issues check the steering angle with a scanner. The steering angle has to be 0 degrees or system will not function correctly. If angle is off adjust draglink. I hope this helps someone it took me months of research to fix my JKU.

    This doesn't help my 97, but it'll certainly help others. Keep these coming. I like to learn from CZcams University as much as I turn off my brain to be entertained. Thanks

    Good morning Colt I really like the idea that you do how to videos that can help people and save them a lot of money.
    I wish more people would do stuff like this to be honest a lot of people aren't made of money and can't just go buy brand new or take to the dealer

  • @gregsavernik3650
    @gregsavernik3650 Před 3 měsíci +2

    I get nervous about replacing the clock springs on any car! That discharge practice is golden when you grounded the positive lead. I don’t like the airbag going off either!!

  • @tonyellis124
    @tonyellis124 Před 3 měsíci +4

    Just a tip-After you put it back together turn the key on then go out nd hook up the battery. That way if it blows your not in front of it, And also set it aside with the bag facing up
    that way incase of a accidental deployment it won't get air born

  • @FORCE_PBC
    @FORCE_PBC Před 3 měsíci +35

    Damn… I had no idea. Colt maybe a touch of light and bringing the camera closer to the underneath when showing the clips or screws would be helpful for the once a year backyard mechanic. But overall your saving people a lot of frustration and money. I’m going to look for a broken one to buy now. Lol. Have a good day bud. 👊

    The dash lights just came on and the cruise quit working. Lasted the drive home then went away. Timing of your video was perfect. Sounds like a clock spring on my 2017 Rubicon is in my future. Thanks Colt

  • @BillyBoulder
    @BillyBoulder Před 3 měsíci +1

    Great info Thanks. Last year (mid 2023) I had my 2010 fixed for this on a recall. (Free) They told me the recall had been extended because so many needed it and parts were slow in coming. They also told me not all 2010’s meet the recall so your instructions are well needed.

    Colt thank you! You have a wealth of knowledge that I appreciate you sharing. I Have a 2014 jku with this issue, started with battery connection, moved on to thinking it was water intrusion in the sway bar disconnect module, but after seeing this I believe you put me on the proper track. A little intimidated to deal with the air bag but I will figure it out with your help here.
    I love my jeep and this may save our relationship, not to mention keep my wife happy since she drives it way more than I get to.

  • @94520shatto
    @94520shatto Před 3 měsíci +1

    Hurray! for the simple explanation. .... I recently discovered how to stop the start up ticking of my 2012 JK, floor the throttle while holding the brake and the engine will turn over but not fire, so there is some oil pumped and it doesn't start dry. Which leads to Baxter Performance. Tell us what you know. Please.
