Kia forte clock spring/driver air bag/ steering wheel replacement

[@dennisw7776]

I know this video is a couple of years old but had to comment. Just left the Kia dealership saying it will cost just under $500 to do this on our 2011. I’m not a certified mechanic but know my way around cars pretty good so after watching this video I feel pretty confident I can do this myself. Thank you for posting this!

[@sergiovergaratelechea1344]

Exactly as the comment down this one said this video is 3 years old but I appreciate the video cuz I did it by my self and thank you so much

[@bmartinusa]

Thanks for the great video. Your instructions are easy to follow. Thank you also to Shanna Wallace for sharing that the repair is now covered under warranty.

[@CoinandRelicOntario]

Thankyou very much for this video. I completed this job in 20 min. Not complicated at all. 👍😁

[@MaudiTheEmpress]

Thanks so much for taking the time to show us how to do this properly! Made the job really easy and smooth!

[@mandoris8387]

Thanks for the great info, slightly different project, but this video showed me all I needed to understand to add OEM cruise control to a low end 2016 Kia Forte.

[@inglouriousmofo]

Same, easy job if you're just replacing the wheel and not just the buttons.

[@TheAmateurJeff]

This is a perfect tutorial. Thank you for everything. It was costing me WAY too much to get it replaced. My dealership wanted to charge me $160 for diagnostics (I already told them what the issue was) and an additional $360 to replace it. Imma do it myself now. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💕

[@tutaibuivan4825]

Where we can buy the clock spring 🥺

[@ytsean89]

God bless you~ This video saved me 3X cost to replace. if exclude the 21mm hex screw is 7X cost.

[@petey428]

Best video on this. Love how you show the 3 holes for the airbag. Every other video I looked up didn’t explain that part well. Thanks for this!

[@FireAngelZero]

Thank you very much sir! I have a 2015 Kia Forte and this video made the steering wheel replacement a breeze! Thank you for taking the effort to make this!

[@Igor_ZG]

#FireAngelZero Did you fasten the steering wheel with certain Nm, like 35Nm, or just in a normal way, with the hand?

[@FireAngelZero]

@@Igor_ZG I have a torque wrench I use to tighten it to Kia specs

[@גבריאליונתן-ש4צ]

Hey how do i buy this part you may have a SKU

[@gosgraproperties8687]

I sincerely appreciate you it’s so patiently explained. You just answer my question thank you sir

[@danbrau20]

thanks bro, just followed your video and was able to 1. do the job 2. save 200-400 AUD in the process. just one thing: careful with those plastics, when you pulled the bottom part of the steering wheel base you also forced the dashboard plastic and created a gap there, you can see the gap in the video.

[@shannawallace7855]

Good news: I just received a letter from Kia that they will cover replacement of the clock spring on 2014/2015 Fortes under warranty up to 15 years after the vehicle was first sold, with no milage limit. if you have already paid to have your clock spring replaced, there is a form you can send in to Kia to receive reimbursement.

[@JM-xm1wg]

Great!.I have a similar problem and I need to replace the clock spring.Could you give me the link for Kia,here when I browse for www.kia.com,I got the local representative,who is not that helpful.Thank you.

[@MikeAnnarose]

I'd rather pay and replace it myself than deal with a dealership. Mine always tries to find something thinking I don't know sh about cars.

[@rt-td9cu]

Thanks , this saved me the trouble of driving to kua and spending time and money getting a replacement.

[@SeanMcilduff]

Thanks for the video, changed my clock spring, all functions working again and air bag light returned to normal.

[@MikeAnnarose]

Thank you so much. I hate taking my car to the dealer. I just don't trust mine. I know some of these are warranty work. I'd rather pay for the part and do it myself and avoid the hell my dealership brings. Big ups bro. 🙏

Good vid, great step-by-step details and helped me with my 2013 Optima SX. Should anyone have the 2013 Optima, the steering wheel nut is 22mm, and it has a lock washer as well.

[@j2skillful]

I have a 2014 Optima, is the process pretty much the same? How did you know your clock spring was bad? My audio steering wheel controls aren't working and on m 07 optima it was the clockspring

[@jetsettercollective7919]

I came from another video for an Optima but the guy flew thru the instructions didn't really break down anything like this video. Thanks for the specs. Trying it myself this weekend.

[@j2skillful]

@@jetsettercollective7919 same here! Even though I ended up not needing to replace mine, I was able to use these instructions for my optima

Great vid dude! how i wish we have that clock spring here in Malaysia. They have been out of stock since mid 2019! and since then i could not play around with my audio switch/hands-free phone button in my cerato. really stressful!!

[@rl3960]

Is it still out of stock? Is the part number for clock spring same for kia for 2011 to 2022?

What was torque spec for the nut

[@000-z5n3o]

Great job bro, I have to do mine also and this helps a lot, thanks and God bless. I have a question have u ever worked on a 2010 forte with a steering wheel noise when u go back and forth from left to right, I'm having this trouble but I heard it's not the rubber coupling that is on most kias and Hyundai , any help would be very appreciated, thanks

[@DULLAHGOSOHARD]

Check your front suspension like inner and outer tie rod end control arm etc... I think its different for your car because your car have power steering pump not an electric power steering motor

[@frankalicea2403]

Hello sir, I watched your video and I was able to replace my click spring just like u instructed , but I have a question, if the light doesn’t shut off on it’s own I would need to erase it with a scan tool correct? I like watching your videos because you are very knowledgeable, hopefully I can get this issue resolved, god bless

[@DULLAHGOSOHARD]

Yes some time you have to erase the light

[@frankalicea2403]

@@DULLAHGOSOHARD ok thank you so much sir you don’t know the help you have been, thank you for your time and I’ll be sure to follow, god bless you sir

[@nastassieablankenship9909]

I think I chipped a side to pop it out. I broke the inside to pop one side out. The other two sides are already popped but the one I ripped it stuck. Any resolution of the other two sides are already popped out?

Great video thanks for the detailed walk through quick question what is the torque spec for the steering wheel nut?

[@mersninizar5046]

Awesome video brother you took your time to make it perfect with every single detail. Thank you. My problem is that the airbag light is on but the horn works fine. Can this be related to the clock spring?

[@roberts.1604]

Hey hopefully you figured it out by now, but I've heard if the light was on prior to replacement, you need to have the airbag light code reset if you have one of those scanners or at a dealer/garage. I'm not an expert or anything but if you got your horn back that's a good sign that you successfully replaced the clockspring and the light just needs reset.

[@christianschappacher8695]

Great video!

[@oscarontiveros1581]

Awesome video bro

[@joshconklin7857]

Followed all instructions to replace the light switch. Now my air bag light is on. I did notice the clock spring had to turn to put steering wheel back on straight. Any help would be awesome.

[@toddvs462]

Awesome and thanks!

[@combustion-junkiecustomart8083]

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!! Could a bad clock spring only affect the volume/radio controls????

[@DULLAHGOSOHARD]

Yes it can affect all the controls on the steering and also the stop the horn from working and also the air bag in the steering wheel

[@combustion-junkiecustomart8083]

@@DULLAHGOSOHARD Could only the radio button be affected, but the horn and air bag are fine? And thanks for responding!! Your video is the best I've seen.

[@DULLAHGOSOHARD]

You're welcome just start saving for the clock spring because it can mean your clock spring going bad

[@shannawallace7855]

@@combustion-junkiecustomart8083 yes, when it's first starting to fail, some buttons on the steering wheel may still work fine while others don't work at all. Or the buttons may work sometimes, but not all the time. or they may only work when the steering wheel is in a particular position.

Did the cruise control work by just replacing the steering wheel? Or did you need to wire a whole bunch of stuff?
