2014 Dodge Durango/ Jeep Grand Cherokee Airbag, Steering Wheel, Turn Signal, Clock Spring Removal

If your unit has the 2 small access holes on the side of the the wheel that pops off the airbag, then this video is for you! Please remember to disconnect the battery first and wait at least 10 minutes before proceeding. You do not want the airbag to discharge.

Great video Patrick! Helped me seamlessly change my turn signal switch in my 2013 Durango.

[@danielflores5794]

Patrick, thanks for the detailed video, you saved me over $300 in labor plus the headache and time of taking it to a shop. Videos like this are so needed. I used it to replace the radio channel selector/manual shift switch on the rear left side of the steering wheel.

[@wilmonger1]

I'm glad it was helpful

[@awkwebum100]

I’ve been searching for a tutorial for weeks now. I’m so grateful to have found this video.

[@Analyzer52]

This is a good video. Couple of tips to make it easier for others. The screwdriver blade should be horizontal that's what he is communicating in the video but makes it hard to understand. Also if you are like me and it was difficult to feel for the rod to relase the airbag. There are two screws at the bottom of the steering wheel that hold a plastic trim piece, take those out and that piece off and you can see the rod when looking up from the bottom as you get the screwdriver on it through the hole. Makes it easier than guessing if you are on it. Other than that this video covers everything you need to know.

Thanks for the video Patrick. Very detailed and concise!

[@amickinflorida9008]

Thanks for this! Now I am going to change my steering wheel which has baked into shreds in the Florida sun.

[@petrleiman475]

Patrick, thanks so much for your detailed video. Thanks to you, I now have working buttons on the back side of my steering wheel. Finally! After 7 years!

[@wilmonger1]

I'm really glad it helped. If I may ask, what was the faulty part...the buttons themselves, the turn signal unit, the connections coming undone, etc?

[@petrleiman475]

The back side buttons. All of them - volume, station scrolling,... forgot what is on the left side of the wheel (on the back) as I never used them... The volume is the most important, obviously. I got the car when it was 3 years old, and the volume buttons worked intermittently back then. Soon after all the buttons stopped working. Interestingly, the gear shift paddles worked fine... The paddle is a component of the replacement button "module" and is controlled by the same PCB... So, thanks to you, I have a properly working steering wheel now! @@wilmonger1

[@LingoENT]

About to try this today with my 13 but have a 14 assembly wish me luck lol

[@hhporsche83]

The best video ever that shows all these details Thank you so much

[@jayrolla_xse4238]

Thanks a ton. You blessed it.

[@brianturneresq]

Patrick, the turn signal housing...is that one piece? Your video is awesome and super easy to follow...Thanks!!!

[@wilmonger1]

It is one piece. If you are purchasing a new one, beware that as I recall there are several different models depending on what options your car has. I believe there are 4 different ones...with and without heated steering wheel, and with and without power tilt.

[@wilmonger1]

The shitty thing is that many cars, even Dodge cars have 2 piece signal housings. If the Durangos had a 2 piece housing you wouldn't need to take all this stuff off. No idea why they did it this way

[@jamalwilson1933]

I appreciate your details, I replaced my turn signal device, now my traction control light won’t go off and I can’t use my cruise control, any suggestions?

[@wilmonger1]

Best guess would be that either one of the connectors has come loose. Another possibility is that the clockspring is bad. They are notoriously delicate.

[@charlesisbill6612]

Fantastic video. Very informative !

[@jennyerwin7659]

Thank you so much for this video! We could not get the nut loosen for anything! Any ideas!?

[@wilmonger1]

The biggest socket wrench or breaker bar you can find, and someone really strong holding the wheel in place. Its super, super tight the first time you remove it. You can try some penetrating oil or WD40 to help loosen it first

[@jennyerwin7659]

@Patrick Wilson thanks so much! We had a friend who’s a mechanic with a impact wrench get it the bolt loose. We got are then signal switch all replaced. I appreciate your video so much! It helped a ton!!!

[@tumashedrick]

What would I need to replace if the horn and steering wheel buttons don't work

[@wilmonger1]

If none of the steering wheel buttons work, nor the horn, then my best guess is that it is the multi-wire clock spring that is part of the turn signal unit See around 20:30 of the video). These are notorious for going out. I am not aware of any way to repair it without buying the whole piece, but there may be a way. The clock spring is basically a long wire that is coiled around the center, which has all of the controls' feeder wires rolled into one. When you turn the wheel in either direction the wire can coil or uncoil as the wheel turns. With so much movement they just eventually weaken and snap. I found eBay to be the cheapest place to get one, but they are available there. Again, just my best guess but it is very likely the culprit. If you do it, make sure to get the correct turn signal switch as there are 4 different ones depending on your car's options.

[@tumashedrick]

@@wilmonger1 thank you I will look into it

[@gurpreetsingh-th1pg]

I have a question what about the yellow wire which splits into 2 parts that thing is also changeable or not?

[@markwassmer5492]

I have a 2011 Dodge Durango citadel 5.7 hemi awd That needs the turn signal switch replaced but I can’t find any videos on my model year Durango or even around my model year Is your 2014 Durango basically the same as mine in regards to replacing this big switch

[@nassersn672]

Hi I was recharging Durango 201 15 3:5 L Battery ,suddenly the passenger air bag blow up . How to return it back ? 2 Question : whey Durango Dodge doesn’t accept recharge from other cars ? I doubled the wires. Thank You

[@tonycooley9632]

How do you remove the w.i.n. module for a durango

[@DRSKINGDAVID]

How do you take the rear radio controls off?

[@wilmonger1]

You do not need to remove all of this to get to the rear wheel radio controls. Watch the video around the 19 minute mark and you will see the small plastic cover that you need to pop off to get to the bolt that holds those controls on. Obviously its easier to access them with the wheel off, but I believe you can likely do it without removing the wheel.

[@mur30yearsago38]

I came from We didnt start the fire new version xD

[@susanatrejo7716]

I need to remoce the signal turn/ windshield wiper switch in a dodge durango 2013 do you know if i could just remoce the steering wheel or would it have to be the whole dashboard?

[@wilmonger1]

It is likely the same as this video, though the 2013 is a slightly different model. My best guess is that you will need to just remove the steering wheel.

[@diegoperez198]

I replaced the steering wheel for my Durango and the airbag light won’t come off ? How do I remove the code

[@wilmonger1]

Was the airbag light on before changing the steering wheel? Also, did you replace the airbag or use the one that was already on the car? Normally this is not something that will make the light turn on unless there is an issue with the airbag wiring. The most likely culprit would be the connections or the clockspring. The light is indicating that there is a malfunction somewhere and should turn off once the fault is fixed. Airbag codes are not usually clearable the way other codes are.

[@TheOmarshams]

excellent video - Many thanks indeed

How can I get the clock spring without going to the dealership
