Q: How to replace the Air Bag Clockspring on Buick LaCrosse?
A: The first step to replace the inflatable restraint steering wheel module air bag clock spring requires sir system deactivation. Start by removing the steering column trim covers before detaching the wire harness assembly from the wire harness strap to finally remove the wire harness straps from the assembly. Begin by removing the upper tilt head assembly wire harness strap then detach the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring retaining clip and the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring itself. Take the wave washer out from the upper shaft of the steering column. Put the block tooth of the upper shaft at 12 o'clock position before placing the wave washer on the upper shaft. The sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring needs centering because unsupported steering column movement or lower centering spring force can move the coil off position. Place the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring in alignment with the horn tower on the turn signal cancel cam before installing this pre-centered coil onto the upper shaft. After discarding the centering tab users should gently tug the lower coil assembly wire to erase any kinks while confirming no bends interfere with the shaft lock system. Position the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring retaining ring properly into the groove of the upper shaft before final installation. Pass the wire harness assembly by the steering column tilt head and keep it secure through the hole with a wire strap on the tilt head assembly. Secure wire harness straps to the assembly before replacing steering column trim covers and activating sir functionality.
Q: How to replace the Air Bag Clockspring in the Steering Wheel on Buick LeSabre?
A: To replace the air bag clock spring, it must first disable the sir system. Finalize the removal of the air bag clock spring along with the steering wheel nut by keeping track of alignment mark on the Steering Shaft as well as the steering wheel. Pull out the tilt lever and remove the tilt lever assembly with the steering wheel. Next, remove two pan head tapping screws from lower shroud and take off the lower shroud. Take off one torx(R) head screw from the upper shroud, and remove the upper shroud from the assembly. Pull the wire harness strap from the steering wheel column wire harness, next to remove the retaining ring and the air bag clock spring from the Steering Shaft. In case of installation, be sure that the wheels are positioned straight and center the block tooth and centering mark on the race and upper shaft assembly at the 12 'o clock position. A new sir coil assembly will be pre-centered, therefore, check the centering. Mount sir coil assembly in the horn tower on the turn signal cancel cam assembly, apply wave washer to upper shaft assembly, slide the coil assembly into the race and upper shaft assembly (discarding the centering tab), apply the retaining ring, and attach the upper shroud with torx(R) head screw to 1.5 n.m (13 lb in), the lower shroud with two pan head tapping screws tightened to 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). Position and slide in the tilt lever to the steering column until they lock, thread the wiring through the steering wheel, align the Steering Shaft so that the steering ring is with the mark on the Steering Shaft, and install the steering nut-tightening to 41 n.m (30 lb ft). Connect the wiring to sir module, install the air bag clock spring, and enable the sir system.
Q: How to replace the Air Bag Clockspring in the steering wheel module on Buick Regal?
A: In order to replace the air bag clock spring, first disable sir system. Then, take out the air bag clock spring, the Steering Wheel, the upper and lower shrouds. Unplug the wire harness straps from the Steering Wheel column wire harness and peel off the retaining ring. Next, remove the air bag clock spring from the Steering Shaft. For installation, position the new air bag clock spring on the Steering Shaft and fasten it using retaining ring. Center the coil and take the lower coil wire harness down the steering column jacket then route the wire harness back on the steering column wire harness and reinstall the wire harness onto the steering column wire harness. Then reattach the upper and lower shrouds, the Steering Wheel and the air bag clock spring. Finally, enable the sir system.
