Renault Clio MK3 Airbag Light On - How To Fix - Clock Spring Squib Replacement

This video will show you how to remove the airbag from a Renault Clio, how to remove the steering wheel and how to remove the clock spring. The ultimate dad-mobile has let me down again. I believe the clock spring snapped causing the airbag lights to come on, time to replace it!
If you fancy having a go at fixing your own car, I highly recommend locating your local scrapyard and sourcing a second-hand OEM part rather than low quality parts found on marketplace websites.

With the pins on the back where the horn wire goes in, could you not just put the prongs out of the way?

[@froywhernside]

Don't think so, need the correct clock spring so the wiring matches your car

[@froywhernside]

Just when I thought about selling this speed demon, it passed it's MOT with no advisories.... French quality?!

[@raymondselley5747]

hi mine has the brass pins there but not one enter the plug. I remove the plug makes no difference. I also have an air bag light.

[@froywhernside]

Maybe a different problem then

[@raymondselley5747]

was the part number the same as your on the scrap car.

[@froywhernside]

Not sure, I just made sure it looked the same and had the same connectors

[@maciejreif6973]

Fantastic job thanks mate

Hi mate, I scanned my renault clio 2013 and I got this main error Dtc80df1b, my airbag lights are on (they suddenly one day just turned on), do you thing this could be my issue? Thanks in advance.

[@froywhernside]

Not a clue to be honest 😂 Google the code and see what others say

[@merzhin891]

Black extra plug is for cars equiped with cruise control.

[@froywhernside]

Thanks! The eBay one was still 💩 quality 😁

[@BENIDERAbdelhamid]

Can't remove the airbag box 😔 thank you for this amazing video 🙏

[@froywhernside]

Very difficult to remove 😤😤

[@BENIDERAbdelhamid]

[@sudinebabz8651]

Super ✨👍🏼

[@froywhernside]

Thank you 👍

[@stebenit]

great how too, I have the same problem with the horn and also the cheap eBay one makes a noise when you turn the steering wheel, I have asked the seller for a replacement but I'm guessing it will still have the same issue, I might look for a scrap yard one..

[@froywhernside]

Yeah the eBay jobby was noisy as well... cheap plastic. Scrapyard or find someone breaking a car on eBay 👍

[@dmusk]

Great video, had to do this when I first bought my car to get it through the mot. Getting that clip to release was definitely the hardest part, what a bitch. Need to replace my wiper/light stalks so was just refreshing my memory.

[@froywhernside]

That spring clip is insane! Would love to see how Renault tech pop them out

[@pointaimandshoot]

You do not need to remove steering to replace stalks, save you your hands and fingers!

[@cagninho3130]

Thank you , can you give a link to buy the peace?

[@froywhernside]

I went to a breakers yard for an OEM part because the eBay one did not work and was poor quality 👍

[@truth.speaker]

This is BRILLIANT! I like how you didn't know what you were doing but by simply trying and following basic mechanical theory it is working again. My wife would be terrified at the thought of trying something like this. (it is dangerous working with airbags too)

[@froywhernside]

Thank you! Trial and error seems to work most of the time :-)
