How to bypass airbag light and fix your horn with aftermarket steering wheel on a Ford Ranger

[@mauriceo4843]

I took the chance and I tested the theory of the steering wheel and the horn and it works

[@rayregnogarage]

Awesome!

[@gastecconversionprofesiona4250]

thanks for the video.

[@rayregnogarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@smoothmind32]

So I kinda cut my clock spring wire prior to watching this video what do you recommend I do

[@rayregnogarage]

Hmm. Can you solder it back together with some scrap wire?

[@smoothmind32]

Stronghold Garage I think I could

[@rayregnogarage]

@@smoothmind32 Did you ever get this figured out?

[@smoothmind32]

@@rayregnogarage no I didn’t just gave up one day I’ll get a bright idea

[@rayregnogarage]

@@smoothmind32 If it makes you feel better, my truck's electrical is all kinda messed up. The windshield wipers go off randomly for no reason sometimes, and the airbag light will stay off, and go on whenever it feels like. You just sorta live with it.

What is the resisters size for Ford 2009 F-150 please ?

[@elenarodriguez8573]

And for f350. I will go right now to buy a bag different kind

[@FordRanger-ih9wq]

My airbag light is out lmao. My truck was crashed twice before I bought it but I hope I can make it nice again

[@rayregnogarage]

nice!

[@jerrytraphouse]

Whould I do the same thing if I swap seats and it’s a different connector?

[@rayregnogarage]

Ah. Did you get a seat out of a newer truck? I've never dealt with that issue, but I imagine it would be the same thing. Might be a different resistance resistor, but I'd try with the 2 OHM first and see if maybe it needs more if it didn't solve the issue. Would need to research that a bit.

[@SBS_Auto]

What code did it give u for the airbag? I replaced clockspring and now I have a airbag 24 code

[@rayregnogarage]

I didn't run the code. I knew it was because I removed the airbag. Haha. I put in an aftermarket steering wheel and ditched the airbag, so I had to put in a resistor to trick the truck into thinking it was still there.

[@Outdoor_Don]

What happens when you try to perform a state inspection?

[@rayregnogarage]

Don't have state inspection or emissions in WA. Also never had a problem in CA either. Inspection requirements vary from state to state

[@emmanuelcastillo7543]

What hub adapter did you use? Can’t seem to find one for my 2004 ranger.

[@rayregnogarage]

Links for everything I used in the video are in the description. Also take a look at the comments on this video. Lots of helpful information there: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWaQk399eaudjck

[@vslandscapingco]

Hey did you ever find a hub for the '04? I'm looking for one right now

[@knightmpw]

What resistor goes with Toyota s??

[@rayregnogarage]

Not sure. Probably the same. I use the same resistor on my Honda and my Nissan, too. They aren’t the greatest resistor though, I’ve replaced it twice in my ranger as they go bad. Nissan has gone bad, too. No issues with the Honda yet.

[@knightmpw]

@@rayregnogarage yes..i also have the same feeling..i will try the Toyota with the 2 ohms one first... cheers 👍

[@jessebeard6168]

Have you figured out the horn

[@rayregnogarage]

Not yet. It's been pretty low priority. haha. contacting the wire to ground works fine. But I will get to it eventually!

[@ddk5327]

Did you ever figure out the noise when you turn ? I think I figured it out

[@rayregnogarage]

I don’t notice it if it still has one. what did you figure out?

[@ddk5327]

@@rayregnogarage you the tabs that you have to cut off from the clock so that the hub can fit if you notice there’s still some ruff surface from you had to break them if you clean it up alittle the sounds goes away well atleast it did for me

[@rayregnogarage]

@@ddk5327 Ya. there were plastic shards stuck between the hub adapter and the clockspring, They eventually wiggled out when I went offroading. Haha. Haven't heard them since.

[@MrTapaut763]

Any 2 hom works???

[@rayregnogarage]

not sure. was just reusing the factory horn

[@TonyWitThaTommy]

my 94 Ranger doesnt have the same guage, mine's more squared in shape, therefore meaning, i dont know where my airbag light is, so that's kind of a problem in my opinion

[@rayregnogarage]

1995 is when they switched the interior on the Ranger. I think they redesigned to work with airbags. 1994 didn't have airbags if I'm not mistaken.

[@rayregnogarage]

But the reason I show this is the modification for the clockspring.. don't break the connector like I did. otherwise, you'll have to wire your horn externally like I did here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6i2Z4t4lpdqa80

[@TonyWitThaTommy]

@@rayregnogarage ah, thanks man, so it doesnt matter i was tryna to find the little circles for the airbag, i don't even HAVE one, gee, that makes me feel safer already lol, but thanks for the help, i don't know how to put on a steering wheel, i watched yours for a 95, then thought, aw shit, i dont have the same components on the interior you do, it was the same for the 93 as well.

[@TonyWitThaTommy]

@@rayregnogarage thanks man, i'll try not to break the clock spring connector if i can figure out the way to put a wheel on mine as well as finding one that's close to stock in width height and diameter

[@Carsonthestreet]

I don't understand the logic of this video. If your airbag light is on, it indicates that there is a possible issue with your airbag inflating in the event of an accident. Warning lights are warning the users of underlying issues for a reason.

[@rayregnogarage]

I removed the airbag.
