[QUOTE="3B99SVT, post: 7797428, member: 35689"] If you're cinching the clock spring, you may just be off 360 deg when you hooked everything back up. So this is going off my memory when I worked on my '91: 1. Make sure your rack is centered. Your steering wheel should also be "straight up". 2. Disconnect your battery and wait a long while (someone else can chime in w/the exact amount of time -- I let is sit for a couple of hours) so the airbag doesn't go off when you disconnect the wires. Serious stuff here! 3. Remove the air bag. 4. Remove your clock spring. 5. Now here's where I'm going off memory -- I turned the clock spring (minimal force) to feel it cinching. Then I counted the number of rotations until I felt a little resistance in the opposite direction. Divide the number of rotations by two and find the center. This is when I used my multimeter to check the connections in the clock spring and all connections tested well. 6. Reinstall the clockspring and button everything up. I hate to say this, but if you work on your clock spring, you are doing it at your own risk. There are some stupid lawyers out there. But I think that if you're thinking of replacing the clock spring anyway, why not "explore" w/your old one? It may be fine -- just needs to be "clocked" correctly. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
