Anyone have trouble getting the steering wheel bolts off (the hex screws on the side)? I was going to try and just check the mounting spot today but couldn't even get the screws to budge.
I'm thinking I need a torque wrench? |

I ended up getting it off ... I meant using the torque wrench as a breaker bar of sorts to give me leverage... and it worked.

If you were really using a torque wrench as a breaker bar, you should know that this is a bad practice - it could make the torque wrench inaccurate (at least), or even destroy it. It's a much better idea to get an actual breaker bar. The one shown is likely bigger than you need, but they are available in a variety of sizes.

Ok...so the first test didn't go so hot. I have some pics...
So I started the car and the airbag light was on...duh...I don't have the passenger side plugged in. I pulled out the driveway nice and easy so as not to tip over my speedometer. I hit 40mph and press that "on" button...pop! There goes a fuse and all my dash lights start coming on and the "cool" light is blinking, and the car is boggin down. It didn't stall, but it wouldn't go faster. SO I pulled over and started checking fuses. My 7.5A Ignition fuse blew. Now I'm not sure if something crossed or what. I checked and double checked all my connections. Not bare wires, nothin'. I changed the fuse and everything was fine...safe to say I didn't try testing it again on the way home :) Here's what I did: I tapped the #40 pin on the ECM connector "A21" and ran the wire through the firewall and spliced it with the red wire from the switch setup. Then I took a jumper...with a fuse... and jumped from the blue wire CTScott showed me in the engine compartment fuse box, but the white wire wasn't where it should be, but it was just to ground it. So I jumped it to another white wire that grounded (according to my multimeter touching the white wire and the frame...0 resistance) Anyway, I have no idea why it tripped the ingnition fuse. Please help me with any ideas. I hope i didn't fcuk up the ECM by blowing the fuse. Everything seemed perfectly fine when I replaced it. HELP! :(

When I was reading his post about using a torque wrench to loosen a bolt, all I could think was "somebody's dad is gonna be PISSED"

So does this need to be run through the clock spring
if so does that mean we have to replace it as well. just a thougt ,and probably a bad one. |

Pulling the cover was a piece of cake. Changed out my steering wheel to a Scion and the install took me 20 minutes. To disable the airbag, I disconnected the battery the night prior. Check here on the forum, I can't for the life of me remember who did this first but they did a good write up on how to. It really pointed out battery disconnect and prying the wires for complete airbag removal.

you may need the wire to connect it to the clockspring.
top pictures are from the corolla... assuming it will be some what similar to the yaris. i think the part number for that wire is 84633-42030 |
04-18-2009, 07:08 AM | #17 |
I think the pic of the one I Bought showed a wire with it. If not Ill just make one, no biggie.
The guy told me it shipped but no tracking #? is that because its USPS? |
