Hyundai Sonata Clock Spring Replacement (When Cruise, Trip, Radio & Phone controls stop working) 

I do lots of car repairs. One of the best videos I have ever seen on any car issue repair. Each hand movement was extremely detailed all the way down to what the release button looks like on the horn spring. Wish you did videos on all my car repair needs, damn good, just damn good.

Thank you for sharing what you know. I had this issue for years and replaced the clock spring today and wow it worked just like new all the bottoms. I disconnected the battery and followed your steps. Thank you!

I am terrible with car repair and was able to do this thanks to you!! Much appreciated ✌🏼😀

Thank you for this video! Fixed all my steering wheel controls and the horn.

Super informative👍🏼. Thank you for doing this video. I have a 2012 Sonata and I noticed my controls are acting wonky. When I turn my steering wheel 180°, the Control lights go out. Definitely remove the negative battery terminal one doing this. Good luck to all we have to do this. You can do it.👍🏼

Thanks a lot this helped out , I replaced the clock spring and my controls work now , appreciate it

Trippy...I just did this this morning on a 2016 elantra...

Great video. About to do my Santa Fe.

thanks for sharing, just got mine done. easy peasy

this was very easy to do!! thanks for you help

Thank you so much that helped a lot

Awesome!

Thanks very helpfull

Mi claxon no funciona ni los controles al volante crees que esa sea la solucion?

Awesome, thanks!!

Hope all is well 🙏

2018 Santa Fe, only had 2 of the release clips for the airbag/horn module. Flat blade worked best for me. Otherwise plug and play. Thanks.

Tanks you brother

Hello. I appreciated your video. Make it looks easy. I changed my clock spring, but I have a problem with the headlights now. When I turn the car on, the high beams are on but no the regular low beam. To turn the low beam I have to actually pull the blinker stalk as people usually do for the high beams. So it is backward. Any ideas what it could be? or do I need to try and replace clock spring back again? Any help is appreciated

Thanks I replaced the clock Spring and it fixed my "horn not working, steering wheel controls not working" but I still got the airbag light on 😂

Thanks

Question, some of my radio controls and the cruise control don’t turn on sometimes. I also have an air bag light on. Will this fix those issues mainly the air bag light?

If the volume up button is triggering the voice command, or vice versa, could a bad clock spring be the cause?

Hi sr I have a question, the clock spring have relation with the horn don’t works? I appreciate your answer

Ny clock spring went on 2012 sonata SE. Started with the airbag light, then became the horn, now the trip and cruise buttons. I tur nthe steering wheel all the way right and everything works and airbag light goes out so know its the clock spring. I may try to do it myself but have bad shoulders so may have to go to firestone i use unless they want to charge too much. but they do clean up connections and under neath to remove any dust and build up.

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY,! Btw radio and bluetooth side still works but abs light is on and the cruise control side doesnt work. Ia that the clockspring as well?

I have a Hyundai Elantra 2015 with working cruise control and trip info buttons, yet the audio controls and phone buttons won't work, Would it got fixed if I change the clock spring? Hope you really help me on this one, appreciate it.

Hello, the cruise control is working but the buttons that change the front dashboard screen aren't. I can't get to the digital speedometer. It is stuck on showing fuel economy. Is this still an issue with the clock spring?

Mine still shows the red man with t he circle although I changed it

I have the same Hyundai but All my controls work the airbag light just came on by itself recently what could be the problem?

I have replaced clock spring and horn is working, but now the traction and auto hold options not working, any reason? Hyundai Azera

Great Video, however it is important to disconnect the battery before, if an airbag is involved.

Is it the same clockspring in the 2009 sonata ?

Where can i find the Clock Sping? Link 🔗 isn't available

Replaced and traction control shows now , how to fix it ?

I’ve got one more long winded question, and Im going to apologize preemptively for the book I am about to write you. As I have mentioned prior I am pulling the 3mz out of my 04 Rx but what I haven’t mentioned is I am pulling it out through the top with a hoist. (I know it’s possible because I’ve seen it done on a sienna which has a smaller bonnet opening and engine bay) I’m hoping I can pull it with the back header still attached or at least wiggle it out to make enough room using the hoist in order to take off the back manifold from the top if necessary. I’ve disconnected it from the wye pipe (had to use an oscillating multi tool to cut the badly rusted studs off after using my impact to remove one nut but stripping the stud and nut completely in the process, the other just wouldn’t budge and i rounded the nut and the external torx end of the studs, I couldn’t hammer a bolt biter extractor onto it so I had to hack it off) I am going to drill out the rest of the studs and use stainless washers bolts and nuts to sock it back together But it was more or less impossible to take the engine out with the back header and transmission still attached because the rear differential output shaft protrudes about 5 inches past the steering rack and the back header tail pipe is directly parallel to it with about 5” of space between the two and in that space is the steering rack. So now I’m separating the transmission and engine as you know. I am Going to try again today but I have some decent pry bars coming in tomorow if I still can’t get them apart. But the multi million dollar question is…. Am I going to have a problem with the back header still attached? Or will I be able to gain enough room with the hoist to remove the back header from the top before I hoist the whole engine out of the engine bay in a worst case scenario? You are the expert here, but myself Personally, I don’t see why the engine wouldn’t just come out with the back exhaust manifold still attached, the rx330 engine bay is pretty spacious. Much more room to work than a sienna. I have the fan assembly out but the radiator and condenser are still in. The ac compressor is still attached and pulled out the way with a bungee. I could convert a propane bottle into an evacuation canister if need be but the sooner I get this sucker out the better. As I’ve said before, Your input is invaluable. If I could have afforded the $2500 in labor to get this done at a shop I would have but alas we are poor and mostly capable enough to attempt this ourselves. Plus I was able to put together a decent diy tool kit in the 5 months before the engine started knocking worse than bob Dylan on heavens door. Found a lot of great used tools online. $30 for a 2.5 ton Pittsburgh floor jack, $80 for an old Rusty 2 ton torrin engine hoist, $160 for a set of Mac flex head metric combo wrenches, $20 for a 400mm craftsman chain whip and the list goes on. Now we just need a tool cart and a fine tooth flex head 1/2” ratchet. Honestly though, how does anyone get at that back cat bank 1 to remove the header? The space to work is almost non existent. Maybe if my ryobi extended reach ratchet didn’t have an awkwardly placed battery pack I may have been able to get up there but the 70 lbs/ft of torque it pushes wasn’t enough to get 66% of the nuts off the front manifold/ cat bank 2. The nuts holding the heat shield on are just little mounds of rust and I definitely couldn’t fit my multi tool up there To cut them off. I don’t see any realistic/ practical way to remove cat bank 1 without pulling the engine out either enough to make space or all the way entirely. Or am I just being a total moron? What variable have I overlooked in this equation? Help me hardly moving productions, you’re my only hope.

My trip and reset buttons don’t work as well as my horn wonder if this could be the issue

Where do I get the clock spring replacement?

Recently the horn, trip, and cruise all stop working, would this item be the problem?

My horn recently stopped working but honks three times when i turn right could the clock spring be the problem?

I WAS ABLE TO FIX IT AND THE RED MAN WITH THE CIRCLE IS GONE. HOW DO I CHANGE MY WORM SHAFT? MY STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING A RUBBING NOISE WHEN I TURN IT.

Ok I made the repair and the horn works again the light disappears on start up for about 5 seconds then returns and idea why?

Replacement clock spring link is broken

Just replaced mines and the airbag light still on why is that

Not mentioning to disconnect the battery could get someone killed
